100%  Cabernet Franc. "La Singulière" comes from a single Picasses parcel named Vaux, with 40-year-old vines that are certified organic and on limestone-rich clay soils like all of their Picasses holding. The yield is kept to 35hl/ha.  The wine starts out being made identically to the Picasses...

100% Cabernet Franc. Like the more renowned Les Picasses, Les Peuilles is a lieu-dit close to the village of Beaumont-En-Véron, but it is to the south of town, closer to the Vienne river. It is a plateau rather than a hillside and features soils of clay and flint rather than limestone. The fruit is...

100% Cabernet Franc. The Granges vines are an 8-hectare site along the Vienne River in Cravant, just below the winery. They are around 20 years old now and planted on pure sand and pebbles with virtually no clay, giving rise to a light, fresh style of Chinon. The farming is certified-organic. All...

"Les Gaignés" comes from a chalky soil with silt and sand deposits. It's a great intro to Duveau's style - with pure fruit and a hint of pepper. Made entirely in cement tanks.

"Les Menais" comes from the town of Varrains and the soil is composed of sand on limestone. The vines are thirty years old on average. Aged for six months in concrete tanks. The "Menais" has a quite elegant side to it, with pure strawberry and raspberry notes, a mineral back bone and a peppery...

Duveau makes two reds from the famous "Poyeux" vineyard in Chacé. Contrary to what you would expect, the "Bas Poyeux" has little top soil and is composed of sandy limestone on top of rocky green chalk. The vines were planted in 1960. It's aged in a mix of cement and barrels. On the palate, it...
