100% Cabernet Franc. As with the Moulins Blanc, this label was initially created to provide a home for Guiberteau’s organic-in-conversion grapes. The vines are primarily located in Montreuil-Bellay and include a healthy portion of old-vine fruit from a recently acquired parcel on the Brézé hill. The vines vary in age from 10 to 80 years.
The wine was raised in stainless steel only, with just five days on skins. The idea is to offer a more open, delicious, early-drinking wine at a more accessible price than the village bottling—and it works. Elegant and crunchy, it’s a suppler, less angular release than the ‘21, with stony cherry flavours alongside spice, earth and lovely gravelly minerality.
