Comment

The castle of Bois-Brinçon (from the Latin Boscus Breceii "Petit-Bois"), founded in 1219 by the Saint Jean d'Angers hospital, is probably one of the oldest vineyards in Anjou. Belonging to the Cailleau family for 5 generations, the vineyard was entrusted to Géraldine and Xavier in 1991. The vineyard has been cultivated in organic and biodynamic farming since 2009. Two hectares of Cabernet Franc are intended for the production of this Red Anjou resulting from a 100% Cabernet Franc. The 35-year-old vines develop on a sponge and clay-limestone sandstone terroir.

Tasting

Notes of very ripe red berries. Light and fruity wine with a pretty crunch in the mouth and very silky and melted tannins. Will go well with white meat, grills and cold meats.
