This is a stunning value from one of our favourite wine regions (the Loire Valley) and is a beautiful, pure expression of Loire Cabernet Franc.

Made in partnership with Pascal Boitteau through HVE3 (a very high European standard) of sustainable farming, this wine is made in stainless steel to preserve the purity of the fruit’s expression and bottled unfiltered. This is the perfect, timeless vin de soif and a year-round staple in the bistros of France, with luminous, poised aromas and quaffable, silky structure.

(2020 Vintage) 90 points: WineAlign – “[This] Anjou rouge is made from 80% cabernet franc with 20% cabernet sauvignon and displays that classic, cool Loire leafiness and fresh, tart strawberry-raspberry fruit, perfumed and inviting, fresh violet-inflected. The palate is likewise sheer pleasure, juicy, crunchy, vibrant, infinitely drinkable, with light, silky tannins. I love the succulent acids and the vaguely saline taste that keeps you coming back for more.” – John Szabo MS
