Mary Taylor - Anjou Rouge Pascal Boitteau 2022 (Pre-arrival)

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

This extremely conscientious farm in the Coteaux de L’Aubance within the Anjou-Villages is run by a winemaking family, known by Biotteau. This is the fourth generation of Biotteau to make wine here. Today the family is hypersensitive to respecting the land and the winery is HVE level 3 certified.

This area of the Anjou-Villages falls on a geological fault-line. Half of the vineyards are grown in slate soils; the other half is grown in Parisian white limestone (known as the Paris-Basin).

The Anjou Rouge comes from 25-30 year-old vines. The blend is 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon.  The wine is made using no additives, and is macerated for 10 days in ambient temperature with ambient yeasts. The wine is non-filtered and is aged in stainless steel tanks.

“The wine opens with black cherry, a sublayer of blueberry and then jumps to pomegranate and raspberry in your glass. Black tea chimes in on the midpalate briefly before resting in a pile of limestone and pencil shavings soaked in delicious black fruit. Give this wine 30 minutes to open in your glass before drinking to get the best of it. Drink now–2026.”
