Loire Valley
A bottle that promises an extraordinary tasting, only if you have the patience to wait for it! Deep, complex nose. Velvety palate, chalky sensation, mineral freshness, firm tannins that give us the assurance of a spectacular aging, endless and highly salivating finish.
100% Cabernet Franc from 60-year-old vines planted on a 1.2 ha plot surrounded by walls, built by the Du Bellay family, lords of Anjou, for the quality of its light, clay-siliceous soils. A vineyard bought by Pierre in 2005 and farmed organically ever since. Manual harvest, total destemming, sorting of the berries on a sorting table, approximately three weeks of maceration with pump-overs and punch-downs, three years of aging in casks and demi-muids barrels of two to three wines. Bottled at the Estate in August 2021 without fining or filtration.
