Presentation
The vintage
HVE à partir du millésime 2021
Location
The Saumur vineyards cover more than 800 hectares on the south bank of the Loire.
Terroir
The vines flourish on a clay-limestone soil: this soft white rock called tuffeau allows the vines to root well and to receive a moderate amount of water. It gives the Cabernet Franc a nice fruity aroma, a nice structure and silky tannins.
Vinification
Grapes harvested at full maturity. Traditional vinification. Short maceration (8 days) with gentle extraction.
Ageing
Aged in our tufa galleries, protected from light and temperature variations (6 to 8 months before bottling).
Varietal
Cabernet franc : 100%

Tasting
Beautiful ruby colour. This wine has an intense nose, dominated by notes of red fruit (strawberry), black fruit (blackcurrant) and spices.
The palate is structured, balanced by well-coated tannins. The finish lingers on spicy notes.
