Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
A biodynamically farmed Loire red blending Cabernet Franc, Cot and Pineau d'Aunis, wild-fermented and aged in older barrels then bottled unfiltered with minimal sulphur. The result is juicy and light on its feet rather than structured — vivid red and dark berry fruit lifted by a peppery, floral edge.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.

Where it comes from
Loire Valley, France
Loire Valley stretches along France's longest river, running west from the centre of the country toward the Atlantic coast, and is prized above all for elegant, food-friendly whites.
Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc is a red grape grown in both Bordeaux and the Loire Valley, and is one of the parent grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Malbec
Malbec is a red grape from southwest France, historically tied to Cahors, but it found worldwide fame after taking root in Argentina, which is now its spiritual home.
Pineau d'Aunis
An old, peppery, light-coloured red Loire grape used in Touraine and Vin de France reds and rosés, and in Coteaux du Loir; known for bright acidity and white-pepper spice.
