Le Colombier

2024
A Cabernet Franc, modern and fruit-forward.

Appelation

AOC Anjou Rouge

Terroir

Anjou Noir. Schist and sandstone soils of the Armorican Massif, bordered by the Layon.

Viticulture

Vines certified organic since 2024, trained using cordon and double Guyot methods, mostly over 30 years old. Mechanical soil work, with flowering fallow land sown to boost biodiversity and soil life. No chemical inputs, following a transition begun in 2021. Hand-harvested with strict sorting in the vineyard.

Winemaking and Ageing

Minimal intervention in the cellar. The pressing is slow and cold, and our alcoholic fermentations take place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve the freshness and authenticity of the fruit. 10-day infusion maceration.

Vintage

2024 will be remembered as a true winegrower's vintage, marked by exceptional rainfall, intense mildew pressure, and a significant overall drop in volumes across the Loire Valley. The harvest, which came late, began in mid-September to allow for optimal ripeness despite the weather conditions. The resulting wines are light in alcohol, fruity and easy-drinking.

Tasting Notes

The colour is purple with violet highlights, a sign of a sun-drenched vintage despite the challenging weather. The nose is expressive and immediate, opening on morello cherry and fresh forest berries. The palate is indulgent, light and juicy, carried by supple tannins and a lovely liveliness that gives the wine its easy-drinking character. The fresh, fruity finish marks an Anjou Rouge made for pleasure, the perfect companion to everyday cooking.

Food & Wine Pairing

Mont d’Or et patates douces au paprika.
Chocolat noir ganache et poivre de Timut.

Ageing & Serving

Up to 5 years. Serve between 14°C and 16°C.
