The Chevré family took on two hectares of Cabernet Franc in the commune of Fosse-Bellay in 2021, an old walled clos whose vines are now between 50 and 60 years old. The soils are light and sandy and are worked by plough. In the cellar Thibaut Chevré follows the infusion model: a maceration of around 20 days with very few pump-overs, so the wine takes colour and flavour gently rather than being extracted, then a short élevage of five months split between stainless steel and sandstone amphora. Nothing here is designed to add weight; the aim is perfume, juiciness and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady on release and best drunk over the next three to five years. Serve lightly chilled at 15-16°C with charcuterie, roast duck or grilled vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
