The 40-hectare Domaine la Bonnelière, based in the Varrains just to the south of Saumur, was founded in 1972 by André Bonneau. Today his sons Anthony and Cédric are in charge with mainly Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc planted. Although the majority of their Cabernet Franc is in the Saumur-Champigny appellation, they do have Cabernet Franc planted in the Saumur zone, which is used for their young, easy drinking La Gourmandine. The deep coloured 2020 has smoky, black fruit notes, a sweet ripe texture and quite marked tannins on the finish, which should soften with a little more time in bottle or be masked by food.
