Presentation
Presentation
Suave, fresh, rich, fruity flavours. Delicious wines providing a great deal of pleasure.
Precision winemaking to bring out the grape variety's qualities: a beautiful pale colour and an intense, complex bouquet combining varietal aromas (citrus) with ones brought out by fermentation (amyl, sweets, strawberry).

Location
Located a few kilometres from the Loire, in the middle of vines, Villa Lorane is a beautiful building made out of tufa, the local luminous white rock, and topped with a blue slate roof. Its bucolic garden with various types of roses invites visitors to enjoy the famous douceur angevine (sweet life in Anjou).
Terroir
Made from selected plots with clay-schist soil.
In the vineyard
The berries are regularly tasted to target optimum ripeness.
Winemaking
Selected plots producing fresh wines with great aromatic potential. Direct pressing and fermentation brings out the varietal aromas and gives the wine an attractive complexity. Light cold settling (300 NTU). Fermented at 16-20°C stopped by chilling in order to maintain residual sugar.
Ageing
Aged on the lees for 4 months, then bottled in spring to lock in maximum freshness.
Varietal
Cabernet franc : 100%

Reviews
" La robe brillante et lumineuse couleur rose pâle s'ouvre sur un nez délicat et élégant qui s'exprime sur les odeurs des petits fruits rouges (fraise des bois, cerise, groseille). La bouche à l'attaque douce et sucrée offre une matière charnue, de la présence, un bel équilibre sur la fraîcheur, ainsi que des arômes fruités (framboise, bonbons aux fruits, confiseries) qui persistent dans une finale gourmande. Superbe Cabernet d'Anjou. " [+]
