NOTES

VINEYARD: The vineyard, with a surface area of about thirty hectares, is located in the part of the Anjou Noir region of the Loire Valley, south of Angers. Unlike the Saumur region known as the white Anjou and characterized by its limestone soils which correspond to the Parisian basin, the Anjou noir with its dark rocks (schists, gneiss, rhyolites and granite), corresponds to the Armorican massif. And it is precisely this characteristic that gives wines a pronounced and unique character. The Anjou noir is a shale land.
On the wine-growing soils of the Anjou Noir, there is therefore a predominance of schists (sandstone to sandstone schists, purple schist sometimes sandstone, green-grey schist...), but also different volcanic rocks (rhyolites, spilites, phtanites).

VINIFICATION: Short maceration, partly in whole bunches, fermentation and maturing for about 6 months in stainless steel vats.

TASTING NOTES: The nose is rich in fruit, the three grape varieties complement each other perfectly. On the palate, the Gamay softens the structure of the two Cabernets.
