Why choose this wine:

The Touraine Au-Dessus de Vitré 2021 represents a world-class cabernet franc, elegant yet expressive, capable of rivaling Loire’s greatest reds. Grown on clay-limestone soils with a south-west exposure, the grapes reach perfect ripeness before being gently vinified: total destemming, 22 days of maceration, a single pumping-over, delicate punch-downs, and soft pressing. The wine undergoes 18 months of barrel aging in 228L casks, exclusively using ex-Château Cheval Blanc and Château Mangot barrels, ensuring harmony between purity and depth. Bottled unfiltered under the right lunar cycle, this wine delivers finesse, vibrancy, and precision.

Note de Dégustation de Jeb Dunnuck

The robe displays a deep ruby hue with garnet reflections. The nose reveals a layered bouquet of black cherry, red berries, gentle spices, and floral undertones. On the palate, the attack is silky and graceful, with an airy texture and fine-grained tannins. The mid-palate brings depth and freshness, leading to a long, elegant, and persistent finish. A gastronomic red of precision, balance, and refinement.
