Tasting Note
Étienne Bodet Clos Durandière Saumur Rouge 2021 is pure, lifted, and beautifully sculpted. Aromas of redcurrant, wild raspberry, and tart cherry mingle with notes of crushed violets, graphite, and subtle earth. The palate is vibrant and mineral-driven, with fine, chalky tannins and bright acidity supporting precise red-fruit flavours. Elegant, energetic, and quietly complex, it finishes long and savoury—classic Loire Cabernet Franc with remarkable finesse.
About the Winery, Production & Critical Reputation
Étienne Bodet is one of the rising stars of Saumur, producing terroir-focused wines that emphasize tension, purity, and the region’s unmistakable limestone expression. Clos Durandière comes from organically farmed vineyards rooted in tuffeau soils, which lend the wine its signature mineral drive and refined structure. The 2021 vintage in the Loire was cooler and more classical, yielding reds with exceptional freshness and aromatic clarity—qualities Bodet captures beautifully. Critics and Loire specialists consistently praise his wines for their precision, elegance, and Burgundian sensibility, often noting Clos Durandière as one of the standout cuvées for its detail, lift, and aging potential.
