A blend of 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, from 25-30 year old vines in area of Anjou-Villages that falls on a geological fault-line. Half of the vineyards are grown in slate soils, the other half is grown in tuffeau (chalky limestone in the Paris basin). The wine is made without additives, and is macerated for ten days in ambient temperature with ambient yeasts. Bottled without filtration.
Dark and lively berry fruit notes and nice earthiness. Juicy, crunchy, vibrant, chewy tannins, lovely balance and grip and a long, finish. Another exquisite yet affordable wine from Mary Taylor & winemaker Pascal Biotteau. Organic, biodynamic, sustainable. Highly rated, critically acclaimed.
