PETRA ALBA comes exclusively from a limestone terroir in what was formerly known as Anjou blanc (as opposed to Anjou noir with its schist soils). It is made from the preferred grape variety for this type of terroir, Cabernet Franc.
PETRA ALBA boasts fruity aromas with the depth, power, and pedigree of exceptionally well-bred wines. The geological nature of this great terroir contributes finesse, fruitiness, and a touch of sweetness to its structure.
After aging peacefully in bottles for two or three years, it will pair harmoniously with meats and cheeses. For optimal enjoyment, it should be opened a few hours beforehand and served at room temperature.

Domaine de Bablut
In Anjou, Domaine de Bablut primarily works with Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc, emblematic grape varieties of the region. The vineyard rests largely on schist soils, which impart a tension and vibrancy to the wines, perceptible in both the white and red varieties.
The winemaking process is carried out with precision, favoring moderate extraction to preserve the purity of the fruit and the balance of the structure. The white wines express themselves with lively and straightforward profiles, while the reds maintain a clear framework and measured structure. Aging remains discreet, designed to complement the wines without influencing their style.
All the wines are distinguished by an assumed sobriety and a natural relief, offering a faithful and legible reading of the Anjou terroirs, without seeking effects or demonstration.
