The wine opens with black cherry, a sublayer of blueberry and then jumps to pomegranate and raspberry in your glass. Black tea chimes in on the midpalate briefly before resting in a pile of limestone and pencil shavings soaked in delicious black fruit. Give this wine 30 minutes to open in your glass before drinking to get the best of it.
The Biotteau family manages a handful of vineyards, in the Anjou-Villages area known as the Coteaux de l’Aubance, that straddle a fault line separating the Massif Armoricain and the Paris Basin. The slate of the former and the limestone of the latter bring out different characteristics of the cabernet franc (80%) and cabernet sauvignon (20%) in this blend: more minerally on one side, richer on the other. By vinifying each parcel separately, Pascal Biotteau and his team are able to create a unique blend for each year’s harvest. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, aged in concrete and unfiltered, the flavors of the unique terroir really shine: ranging from chalk and dried flowers to sandalwood and licorice. Sustainably grown.
