Domaine Andrée - Carbone 2018
Domaine Andrée is located in the Anjou appellation, in the Loire Valley. The small cellar was founded by Stéphane Erisée. Before creating the domain, he worked with Antoine Foucault, from Domaine du Collier. He exploits 5 hectares of vines which he cultivates in organic farming and produces wines from Cabernet Franc, Chenin, Grolleau Noir and Grolleau Gris grapes, pursuing the philosophy of minimal intervention and using the minimum of sulphites in the processes of winemaking.
The cuvée Carbone is made from Cabernet Franc, cultivated on clay soil rich in carbon and granite. The average age of the vines is 70 years. The harvest is completely destemmed and no punching down or pumping over is carried out: the aim being infusion rather than extraction. Carbone is aged in barrels, 30% of which is new for 12 months before bottling.
Grape variety: 100% Cabernet Franc
