About the Terroir and Wine Making

Grape variety Cabernet franc
Soil Its terroir (sandy soil on crumbly limestone) allows a very rapid warming of the soil and favours a very high maturity of the grapes. The old vines are selected on the plateau at the top of the hillside, overlooking the Vienne, on a beautiful southern exposure. The intense fruitiness and smooth tannins are powerful enough to stand up to a pie or well-prepared small game. A delicacy in the land of Rabelais.
Vinification Careful harvesting of grapes picked at very good maturity. Traditional vinification with moderate extraction of tannins. Pumping over at the beginning of fermentation.

Millesime description

Let's get back on the road and cross the Loire. A few kilometres further south is Chinon and its royal fortress. Overlooking the town is a magnificent five-hectare vineyard surrounded by white tufa stone walls. The old vines grow on a sandy and crumbly limestone soil that allows the soil to warm up quickly and the grapes to ripen very well. Clos de la Lysardière is an intense, powerful and fruity wine.

Advice tasting

Appearance Dark colour with purple tints.
Aroma The powerful nose seduces with its notes of juicy black fruits (blackcurrant, cherry, blackberry), cooked fruits (plum), tobacco and spices (black pepper).
Flavour The palate is ample, structured and full of flesh, balanced by its robust tannins. Powerful black cherry finish.
