Bright garnet in the glass, the wine opens with expressive aromas of ripe raspberry, black cherry, and a hint of violet. The palate is soft and fresh, showing supple tannins and a core of juicy red fruit framed by Loire’s hallmark minerality. Elegant, lively, and harmonious, it lingers with a gentle earthiness and balanced acidity.
Winemaker's Background:
Domaine Filliatreau has been a cornerstone of Saumur winemaking since 1967, when Paul Filliatreau took over from his father with just eight hectares and a bold vision. A trailblazer for organic viticulture in the region, Paul led the transition to organic and biodynamic farming, fostering a deep connection to the land and its biodiversity. The Château Fouquet parcel, fully organic since 1998, represents the pinnacle of this commitment, showcasing the finesse and nuance of Loire Valley Cabernet Franc grown in Brézé’s renowned clay-limestone soils.
