Anjou Villages Rouge Grand Lopin 2022

A blend of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, like in Bordeaux, but with grapes grown on volcanic rock. On the palate, you find that seductive chalky and mineral character that pairs perfectly with the crisp red fruit of the Cabernets.

Aging in Burgundy barrels imparts a silky, balanced touch to the palate. A superb discovery for those who want to surprise lovers of classic Bordeaux. Note that a few magnums are available.
Grand Lopin embodies the structured side of the estate's reds. Located on a unique walled vineyard in the commune of Rochefort-sur-Loire, where Cabernet Franc thrives on brown schist soils.
