A blend of 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, from 25-30 year old vines in area of the Anjou-Villages that falls on a geological fault-line. Half of the vineyards are grown in slate soils, the other half is grown in tuffeau (chalky limestone in the Paris basin). The wine is made using no additives, and is macerated for ten days in ambient temperature with ambient yeasts. Bottled without filtration. Certified sustainable.
