From a small parcel of Cabernet Franc in the village of Beaumont-en-Véron on the right bank of the Vienne. The vines here are forty years old and planted on a slope over limestone and sand. The grapes were fermented as whole bunches in cuve for three weeks, before being pressed to a combination of vats, old barrels and amphorae for a short élevage. Wonderfully plush, open and expressive, it pairs red fruits, earth and spice to beautiful effect.
