Varietal Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is not simply an important grape varietal for the fact that it is one of the most widely grown strains of vine in the world, but also because it is a vital grape in the production of many of the finest wines the world has ever seen. For centuries in its native France, it has been a varietal synonymous with elegance and high quality, and has become a key fruit in the production of the Bordeaux and Bordeaux-style blended wines which have gone down in history thanks to their magnificent flavors, aromas and levels of aged complexity. However, Cabernet Franc is also a wine grape varietal for use in single variety, unblended wines, and has plenty to offer on its own. Most commonly, it is renowned for its wide bouquet, which often includes fascinating notes of tobacco, violets or bell pepper over a beautifully pale and decadent liquid.

Region Loire Valley

Within France, the one region most closely associated with fine white and rosé wines is surely the Loire Valley. With over eight controlled appellations, and a relatively large expanse of land covering this wide valley, the Loire Valley is an ideal location for wineries wishing to produce large quantities of excellent quality vines for their wine production. Indeed, this region has been associated with excellent white wines for over a thousand years, with it once being the favorite wine region for the crowned heads of England, France and beyond. Today, it produces a wide range of white wines, and several rosé and red varieties also. It is also widely celebrated for being home to some of France's most lively and fruity sparkling crémant wines, which more than match those produced in nearby Champagne.

Appellation Anjou-Saumur

Anjou-Saumur, an enchanting wine appellation in the Loire Valley, France, is celebrated for its diverse and vibrant array of wines. What makes Anjou-Saumur unique is its expansive range of terroirs, from the schist soils of Savennières to the limestone cliffs of Saumur-Champigny, allowing for the production of diverse styles from various grape varieties. Anjou-Saumur is renowned for its Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Chenin Blanc, in particular, thrives in the region, producing outstanding dry, off-dry, and sweet wines, including the renowned Coteaux du Layon. The appellation's commitment to sustainable viticulture adds to its uniqueness, emphasizing the harmony between the vineyards and the picturesque landscapes of the Loire Valley. Exploring Anjou-Saumur offers wine enthusiasts a journey into the heart of the Loire, where the diversity of terroir and the dedication to expressive winemaking create wines that capture the essence of this historic and picturesque wine region.

Set for release in November 2022, the 2017 Les Poyeux is a delightful wine. While waiting for the winemaker, I was left with a glass of this in the chalky cellars and I really struggled to find anything wrong with it. This is a blend of two parcels within the Poyeux vineyard. It's as if you are drinking a cloud of Cabernet Franc, that floats along in your mouth, before the mouthwatering acidity flows forth. This light to mid-weight wine has incredible density despite its delicacy. The purity of fruit is impressive and shows red cherry, black olive, savory and tea leaf-like tannins. Typically a more accessible wine than Le Bourg, you could drink on release but it will go on and on.

The nose is more restrained than Le Clos 2017 or Les Poyeux 2018. There's a small touch of minerality in the background, and a mineral edge to the finish. Very tight on the palate, all the purity of the cuvée is hiding behind the structure; the fruits will shine through in time. This really needs time but should soften to great elegance over some years.
