Intensity
Cabernet Franc from Anjou, made with finesse, for a powerful yet refreshing result.
More infoThe 24-hectare Ogereau estate, south of Angers, has been certified organic since 2019.
“Les Tailles” is an Anjou made exclusively from Cabernet Franc, grown from east-facing vines on schist and quartz soils, in the locality of the same name. The grapes are harvested by hand at peak maturity. Cellar processes include a long maceration of 25 days, followed by gentle infusion, with devatting after 24 days to separate the free-run juice from the press juice. The wine is aged for 12 months in underground vats and 500-litre barrels, undergoing malolactic fermentation.
On the nose, it displays powerful, intense aromas of jammy red fruit. On the palate, it is well structured with silky tannins and a refreshing finish.
A perfect accompaniment to beef, small game or terrine.
About the Producer Ogereau (Domaine)
This family domain, founded in the 19th century, is now run by Emmanuel Ogereau, the fifth generation of vintners to craft wine at the estate. But this is a history that goes “beyond them, the history of an ancient wine growing area and the birthplace of Chenin”. The vines are cultivated organically with some biodynamic methods used, putting soil life in a central place for their work. Both dry and dessert wines are made here, and whilst it’s the latter that has built the estate’s reputation in recent times, Emmanuel Ogereau’s terroir-driven, single-parcel approach is moving the spotlight back to dry wines. A Loire signature to keep an eye on.
