EXPERIENCE RANGE

If Christophe inherited the land, he also inherited a passion for Cabernet Franc vines and wines. Seeking the simple and constantly renewed pleasure of summer fruit freshness, well preserved in a few bottles: “I took over the estate in 1990 with the aim of continuing to progress towards quality, fresh and fruity wines, and to share my passion for my land, the vines, and our CHINON wines. This is the goal we continue to pursue with Jean-Martin, with whom I partnered in 2003.” Christophe and Jean-Martin keep progressing in their agronomic practices to preserve the soils and vines. After 3 years of conversion, a new milestone was reached in 2021 by getting the “Organic Agriculture” label.

CUVÉE STORY

These plots of old vines are harvested when perfectly ripe. The grapes are sorted and destemmed before being put gravity vatted Precise vinification reveals the grapes’ aromas and preserves them.

TASTING

Dark color. Bouquet of ripe red and black fruits with subtle spicey notes. Soft tannins give a full-bodied and structured mouthfeel.

FOOD & WINE PAIRING

"Perfect with a veal stew with carrots or slow-cooked small game. Also pairs beautifully with a selection of mature cheeses."
