Tasting Notes:

This cuvée is produced in the commune of Dampierre sur Loire where the soil is shallow (40 cm) directly overlooking the limestone rock. Thierry Germain constantly progressing on the quality of his wines, decides to discard this terroir to sublimate it; the first bottle was released in 2012. Made from 100% Cabernet Franc, destemmed and aged in tapered Stockinger vats.

The dress is bright red, with purple reflections. The nose is expressed with notes of fresh red fruits, strawberries, raspberries, Morello cherries. The bouquet reveals predominantly chalky notes, revealing great mineral purity. The palate is suave, ample, crossed by a beautiful tension. The finish is long, persistent and crystalline.
