Grape Varieties & Terroir

Emblematic grape varieties

Our Anjou Rouge wines are primarily made from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. These varieties give the wine a beautiful structure, aromatic richness, and a pleasant suppleness on the palate. Cabernet Franc contributes floral and spicy notes , while Cabernet Sauvignon adds depth and a lovely persistence.

An exceptional terroir

Our vines flourish in a soil blending schist and clay-limestone , giving the wines a beautiful minerality and a unique aromatic depth. This terroir allows us to produce light and fruity wines, perfect for pairing with food. The hillside exposure promotes optimal ripening of the grapes, revealing subtle aromas and a beautiful complexity.

A wine rooted in its history

Anjou Rouge is also a heritage, that of a region where vines have been part of the landscape for centuries. Each bottle tells a little of this story, a blend of tradition and innovation. It's a wine that doesn't seek to impress, but to charm with sincerity. Behind its apparent simplicity, it offers a beautiful depth, an authenticity that speaks to both the curious and the discerning connoisseur. It's a wine that brings people together, both familiar and nuanced, a true reflection of local expertise.

Our selection

Fruity and elegant wines

We produce Anjou Rouge wines that highlight notes of red fruits , such as cherry and raspberry. Their balanced structure and supple tannins make them approachable and enjoyable. These wines can be enjoyed both young and slightly aged to fully appreciate their complexity.

A controlled winemaking

We prioritize a winemaking process that respects the grapes in order to preserve the full expression of the fruit. Aging takes place in tanks to bring complexity and roundness. This process allows us to retain the freshness and intensity of the aromas, while ensuring a lovely suppleness on the palate .

Anjou Rouge & Anjou Rouge Château du Pin: What are the differences?

Our classic Anjou Rouge is a light and fruity wine, ideal for sharing and convivial meals. It is distinguished by its suppleness and approachability. The Anjou Rouge "Château du Pin ," on the other hand, is made from a selection of grapes grown exclusively in plots surrounding the Château du Pin, benefiting from exceptional terroir, which gives it a more pronounced structure and excellent aging potential.
