Domaine Ansodelles “Rencontre” 2018
Anne Rouxelin created her domaine in 2014. The vines are worked organically and cover roughly 10 acres. 100% of the grapes grown here are Cabernet Franc. After maceration, the grapes are aged in fiberglass for roughly one year. Anne is a meticulous winemaker, and it shows in the care that we find in her wines. We find blackcurrant, blackberries, and a faint hint of bell pepper on the nose, with light tannins and a smooth finish. This would pair great with poultry, all sorts of charcuterie, stuffed bell peppers, and grilled pork.
The Producer
Located in the heart of the AOP Bourgueil (Loire Valley), the estate extends over 4.6 hectares of vines in organic farming with the sole grape variety: 100% Cabernet Franc!
Some hundred-year-old vines are found on clay & limestone soils, the rest of the parcel of younger vines growing on a beautiful sand & gravel soil.
The 7 plots are worked in an almost identical way depending on their state of progress!
I favor quality with work in green, and work under the row....
(average yield 26hl/ha).
