DOMAINE OGEREAU ANJOU VILLAGES ROUGE LES TAILLES 2021

The quartz-rich Brioverian schist soils of Les Tailles vineyards, where Francis Ogereau planted Cabernet Franc in the 1950s, yield one of Domaine Ogereau's most distinctive Anjou Villages wines. These organically farmed old vines, thriving along the Hyrôme tributary in Saint Lambert du Lattay, produce a Cabernet Franc with a mysteriously seductive character unique to Anjou Noir's dark terroirs. The palate delivers an elegant, race-like attack with ripe pepper notes evolving into luscious black fruits before finishing with pronounced graphite minerality and vibrant freshness. This expressive red showcases the flowery yet structured essence of mature Cabernet Franc vines on this historic family estate, capturing both power and refinement in perfect balance.
