About the Terroir and Wine Making
Grape variety Cabernet franc
Soil Planted on a soil composed of clay, flint (heat recuperator) and resting on white limestone, the tuffeau (excellent regulator of water supply), the Cabernet franc vines benefit from an ideal exposure. The soils are very well adapted to the production of red wines for ageing.
Vinification Fine selection of grapes on reception on a sorting table. Fermentation at a controlled temperature (22°C) followed by a long maceration period (25 days) to extract the full potential of the grapes. Maturation in French oak barrels (25% new barrels) in our troglodytic cellars 25m deep, protected from light and temperature variations.

Millesime description
As a 4th generation winemaker, this cuvée is made with the heart. To my great-grandfather, who settled in Saumur and bought the first vines. To my father, who, despite a generation gap and local disputes, brought the estate back to life and made it prosper.
Advice tasting
Appearance Beautiful dark colour.
Aroma Open, dense nose, combining red fruits (blackcurrant liqueur), black fruits (black cherry) and fine notes of liquorice and humus.
Flavour Elegant, sweet and structured by silky tannins. The finish has a balance of warmth and freshness with notes of chocolate. Exceptional aromatic length.
