This Cabernet Franc expresses its unique character thanks to its terroir of gravel-falun and schist. The winemaking process is meticulous: the grapes are sorted and carefully destemmed, followed by fermentation with minimal intervention. Aging in oak barrels accentuates its natural qualities, and bottling without filtration or the addition of sulfites preserves its authenticity. This well-balanced wine is the perfect accompaniment to grilled meats, poultry, and charcuterie, enhancing their flavors.
