AOP Anjou Rouge

Anjou traditional red wine

Grapes : 90% Cabernet Franc and 10% Grolleau Noir

• Vinification :

The grapes from our best plots are harvested when their maturity is optimal. A pre-fermentation maceration at 12-14°C is carried out for 3-4 days. After heating, the maceration lasts 2 to 3 weeks, rigorously controlled in temperature (max 25°C). After maceration, a micro-oxygenation is carried out, its purpose is to increase the volume of the wine, to erase the vegetal side and to exalt the aromas of red fruits and black fruits. The malolactic fermentation is carried out at the beginning of winter. Bottling takes place at the end of February - beginning of March.
