Tender, gourmand and tangy, this Cabernet d'Anjou is a real treat! Sometimes, being greedy isn't such a bad thing...

Terroir
Clay-limestone with a silty tendency.
In the vineyard
The aim is to achieve optimum ripeness of the Cabernet franc, with harvesting in early October after repeated tastings over 2 to 3 weeks.
Winemaking
Soft direct pressing, in order to delicately extract the fruit aromas and obtain a pink color of medium intensity.
Very long settling, with a stay on fine lees of 5 days to refine the structure structure and to complete the natural extraction of the aromas.
