This Cabernet Franc, from the heart of Anjou, reveals a deep ruby color. The nose offers a blend of black fruits and spices, leading to a generous, structured palate. Flavors of black berries and dried fruits mingle with soft, silky tannins, creating a harmonious and approachable red.
The wine's terroir, a product of Anjou's unique climate and soils, plays a crucial role in its expression. The region's mild, damp climate, influenced by the maritime environment, and its diverse soils, particularly the sandy loam where these grapes are grown, contribute to the wine's distinct profile. The Regnard family, owners of Domaine de la Petite Roche since 1791, practices sustainable viticulture across their 82 hectares, ensuring the health of their vines and the quality of their wines.2 A short warm soak and twelve-day maceration, followed by five to six months in stainless steel tanks, shapes this wine's elegant structure.
This Anjou Rouge stands out for its balance of fruit and subtle spice, making it a versatile pairing option. Consider it with red meats, soft cheeses like Camembert, pizza, or hearty stews.
