100% Cabernet Franc. Clos de Pavée is adjacent to the old Abbey where Benedictine monks first introduced viticultral to the area long ago. It is a true clos with a unique gravelly terroir that Pierre works alone. This unique site yields an iconolastic wine that bears little resemblance to other Bourgeuil but may very well harken back to what wines from here might have tasted like long ago. Destemmed, 10-15 day maceration in tank with one tank carbonic. 15% aged in barrels and the rest in vats. 2gr/HL so2 added. AB certified organic. The 2021 is tasting bright, well defined, and delicious. The range of fruit goes from blue to black with herbal and hibiscus tinges that bring intrigue and balance to the wine. If you’re serious about Loire Cabernet Franc, you should be paying attention to this wine.
