Cabernet d'Anjou Clin d'Oeil

Clin d'Oeil, the discovery brand for Loire appellations.

Presentation

The vintage
High Environmental Value from the 2021 vintage
Location
The vines extend over the hillsides of the Saumurois and Anjou area.
Terroir
The main characteristic of the region is its clay-limestone soil: this soft white rock called tuffeau allows the vine to put down good roots and a moderate water supply.
In the vineyard
The plots are selected at the approach of the harvest, in August and September, for their ability to offer grapes of beautiful maturity and rich aromas of fresh fruit (strawberry and grapefruit). An early harvest is carried out to preserve a tasting balance.
Vinification
Direct pressing to extract a nice aromatic potential. Vinification in thermo-regulated vats then bottled in spring to preserve freshness and fruit flavours.
Varietal
Cabernet franc : 100%
