Submersion; a fluid and delicate cuvée, short maceration of cabernet franc. The aging on total lees gives it a smoky nose. The palate is supple, fresh, light and bursting with fruit. First vintage of a new series, it illustrates climate change through exceptional natural events.

This style of vinification reflects our adaptation to the climate. Through the issue of freshness in wines, we build wines that are part of a Loire identity.

This wine is neither filtered nor fined, it is the direct reflection of the Cabernet Franc from Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil.

the vineyard

Our Cabernet Franc vines are planted on a terrace where the Loire has deposited its sand and gravel. All of our grapes are harvested by hand and no insecticide is used on our 40-year-old vines.
