The vineyards of Anjou are a rich tapestry in today's viticultural landscape, dotted with brilliant and progressive young winegrowers crafting some of the most exciting wines in the Loire Valley. The Chenins produced range from tight and racy to earthy and oxidative. Since its establishment in 1994, Domaine Musset-Roullier has distinguished itself as an outstanding source of impeccably farmed Anjou wines. Gilles Musset and Serge Roullier work without chemicals or synthetic inputs, producing bracing, fresh Chenin Blanc and darkly floral, savory Cabernet Franc on schist soils.
From Cabernet Franc vines planted in sandy schist, this wine presents a deeply aromatic expression of Anjou Rouge. Minimal extraction is employed during fermentation to achieve the silkiest texture possible. The nose and palate are rich with pure black fruit, complemented by floral and even woolly accents. This wine boasts lovely balance and excellent freshness.
