The grape

Cabernet Franc

Best known in Loire Valley, Bordeaux

Lighter and more fragrant than its famous offspring, Cabernet Sauvignon. Red berries, violets, graphite and a leafy freshness. In the Loire it shines on its own; in Bordeaux it adds perfume to the blend.

Where it's from

Loire Valley

France

France's garden stretches 1,000km from the Atlantic to the Massif Central. Muscadet for oysters; Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé for Sauvignon Blanc purists; Vouvray for Chenin in all its forms; Chinon and Bourgueil for the finest Loire reds.

The story behind it

The Bretêche parcel lies on clay-limestone soils, giving this wine its precision and elegance. Domaine de la Chevalerie, a family estate rooted in Bourgueil since 1640, crafts this cuvée using biodynamic principles and long, gentle aging. 

If you like these, you'll love this: If you're drawn to aged Chinon or Saumur reds, Bordeaux with finesse, or even mature Nebbiolo or Sangiovese, this wine will resonate. It's perfect for fans of classic, elegant reds with a soulful sense of place.
