Anjou Rouge Vieilles Vignes - Château de Fesles

SITUATION: On the right bank of the Layon region at the heart of the wine producing area of Coteaux du Layon with a South - South West exposure.

GRAPE VARIETY: Cabernet Franc 100 %

SOIL COMPOSITION: Sandy-clay, perfect for vine growing.

VINIFICATION: The hand-picked grapes are carefully sorted, then de-stemmed and placed in stainless steel vats at 30-33" C. The must is frequently pumped over. Maceration lasts 8 to 15 days. The wines are left to mature on their lees for 3 to 4 months then kept in bottle for 6 months before sale.

TASTING: Magnificent deep red colour with an enticing bouquet of fi-uits of the forest. The wine is a fine expression of mature Cabernet, round, supple and elegant. A pleasure to drink with a long-tasting flavour.

DRINKING SUGGESTIONS: Serve between 13-16" degrees Celsius, with cold meat, red meat, small game and soft cheese.
