Saumur-Champigny

France
Loire
100% Cabernet Franc. This is the classic wine from the estate, the first wine bottled by founder Paul Filliatreau and popularized in Parisian bistros back in the 1970s. Today the wine comes from a mix of parcels on clay-limestone soils. The vines average 35 years old and are certified-organic and in conversion to biodynamics (certification is on track for the 2021 vintage). The harvest is around half manual and half mechanical, varying by the vintage. The bunches are destemmed and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Maceration lasts about 10 days. The wine is aged in steel tank for 6 months.
