2016 Chateau de Bois-Brincon Anjou "Le Seigneurie", Loire Valley, FranceABOUT THIS WINE La Seigneurie comes from three hectares of Cabernet Franc vines, planted on tuffeau terroir (a local limestone of the Loire Valley) of the Turonian. The vines, with an average age over 40 years, benefit from an open landscape with favorable amounts of sunshine. The grapes are destemmed and macerate anywhere between 8 to 21 days, helping extract gentle tannins. After fermentation in cement, the wine is pressed and racked to stainless
