Cabernet d’Anjou « Charles de Villeneuve »

Presentation

The vintage
HVE from the 2021 vintage
Location
The vines are spread over the hillsides of the Saumur and Anjou regions.
Terroir
The main characteristic of the region is its clay-limestone soil: this soft white rock, called tuffeau, allows the vines to take root well and to receive a moderate amount of water.
Vinification
Direct pressing to extract a nice aromatic potential. Vinification in temperature-controlled vats and bottling in the spring to preserve the freshness and fruitiness.
Varietal
Cabernet franc : 100%
Specifications
Haute Valeur Environnementale

Advice

Serving
Served chilled (8-10°C).
Tasting
Beautiful, brilliant, deep pink colour. Intense nose with aromas of red fruits (strawberry, wild strawberry) and citrus fruit (grapefruit). It is supple and full in the mouth. Its soft finish is enhanced by a lively note of fresh red fruit (blackberry, redcurrant) and spices.
Food pairings
It goes well with starters (salads, raw vegetables), cold meats (terrines, rillettes), fish (grilled sardines, salmon tartar), Asian dishes and desserts (fruit salads).
