About this wine

Le Tandem is Mélaric’s easy-drinking cuvée, often a blend of Cabernet Franc with Grolleau or other local varieties, from younger vines and lighter soils. The 2023 shows crunchy red berries, floral and peppery notes and just a touch of Loire leafiness. The palate is light to medium-bodied, with minimal extraction, fine tannins and a refreshing, slightly saline finish. It’s a perfect bistro or summer red.

Domaine Melaric

Domaine Mélaric is a small, artisanal estate working the limestone slopes of Saumur with organic and often biodynamic practices. They specialise in soulful Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs that are vibrant, saline and finely textured rather than powerful. The wines feel hand-crafted and honest, highlighting freshness, drinkability and a strong sense of place.
