La Petite Soeur Globule Rouge 2022
Anjou, Loire Valley, France
Cabernet Franc
ABV: 11.5%
Originally from Brittany, Adrien fell into wine making in Quebec where he worked for a number of years before returning to France to work in the Southern Rhone Valley. During this time he also lived and made wine in America and South Africa and when he heard of an organically farmed estate in Anjou that was downsizing and selling a section of the property he leapt at the chance to begin his own domaine and be a little closer to his home region.
Today, Adrien farms just over three hectares of Loire varieties outside the village of St Lambert du Lattay in Anjou, one the most widely revered regions of the Loire and makes a delicious range of seriously pure, detailed wines. The terroir here is largely schist-based which and the wines have a pleasing notion of minerality as a result.
Globule Rouge is a blend of cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon, grown on schist and vinified and raised in tank, without time in barrel. This is about as delicious as lightly handled red wine gets. Exceptionally pure, the fruit is aromatic and poised and the tannic structure just so elegant.
It takes a great deal of skill to harvest and vinify wines like this. There are several windows across the process that simply can not be missed.
Serve at around 14C and enjoy with or without food.
