Presentation
This cuvée celebrates Marie Dupin, a young peasant girl from Angers, who charmed Ronsard and was his muse.
Location
Situated on the north bank of the Loire, the Bourgueil vineyard covers almost 1300 hectares.
Terroir
It benefits from a sheltered exposure and a particularly mild microclimate. The terroir of the Marie Dupin cuvée is characterised by superficial sand and gravelly soils, allowing the Cabernet Franc grape variety to express all its fruity aromatic potential.
Winemaking
De-stemming. Vinification in thermo-regulated vats (24°C) and short maceration to preserve the suppleness of the tannins and the fruitiness of the grapes. This wine is a blend of different vats, whose grapes come from different terroirs typical of the Bourgueil appellation.
Ageing
Matured for 5 months before bottling in spring.
Varietal
Cabernet franc
