2023 Debout Bertin 'La Noue Blanchard' Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc from Stéphanie and Vincent of Deboutbertin, grown on schist on a plateau near Faye d'Anjou in the Loire. The organic vineyard is plowed by horse with no machinery, and the wine is made entirely by hand: grapes are slowly basket-pressed, fermented spontaneously in barrel over many months, and bottled with no added sulfur. Serious, natural Anjou Cab Franc to pair with lamb, duck or a long dinner.
