Red Wine Garo’Vin Anjou Rouge 2016

This is full of lush, dark fruit with a streamlined elegance and freshness. Green pepper and the earthiness just absolutely scream Cabernet Franc. 30% of the vines are 25 years old, 70% are 80 years old. Grown on a 1 hectare parcel with shale soil, around Rablay-sur-Layon with 3 weeks of maceration, and 1 year of ageing in barrel. Only 4,000 made per year.
