This Cabernet Franc expresses its unique personality thanks to its terroir of gravel, falun, and schist. The winemaking process is meticulous: the grapes are carefully sorted and destemmed, followed by fermentation with minimal intervention. Aging in oak barrels enhances its natural qualities, and bottling without filtration or added sulfites preserves its authenticity. This balanced wine perfectly complements grilled meats, poultry, and charcuterie, simply highlighting their flavors.

Domaine Les Grandes Vignes
In Anjou, the Vaillant family has been running Domaine Les Grandes Vignes biodynamically for many years. The vineyard is mainly planted with Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc, emblematic grape varieties of the region, cultivated with constant attention to soil balance and vine vitality.
The plots surrounding Thouarcé present varied profiles, which the estate interprets through precise winemaking, sometimes without the addition of sulfur. The white wines develop a natural character and measured tension, where the fruit retains a restrained and legible expression. The reds favor supple structures and a fluid texture, resulting from controlled extraction.
The winemaking process is carried out with restraint, aiming to preserve the direct expression of the terroir and the clarity of the wines' profiles. The estate's work as a whole is distinguished by great consistency, producing wines faithful to their origin and consistent in their expression across vintages.
