About this winery

Family-owned for four generations, the 30-hectare estate is located around the village of Chezelet. Operated today by Fabrice Gasnier and his wife Sandrine, the vineyard has been fully certified organic and biodynamic since 2008. Their philosophy favors constant exchanges between Mother Nature and the winemaker to bring out the character traits of the vintage. Their wines are vinified in small-capacity, home-made, artisanal and unique cement vats that are adapted to their way of doing things...

Product notes

Terroir: Clayey loam with the presence of flint and white limestone.

Production notes

Hand-harvested. Vines cultivated under the vine and natural grass cover. Leaf removal before harvesting with sorting on the vine. Destemming then gravity-fed vatting for total respect of the grape berry. No yeasting. Crushing. Maceration for 35 days and fermentation in concrete vats then aging in tuns.

Tasting notes

A Cabernet Franc with red fruits and a delicate palate. Silky tannins are present, punctuated by a lovely freshness. Pairs well with charcuterie, poultry, and grilled meats.
