Érogène, 2022

Loire Cabernet with no oak and nothing added: perfumed and fresh rather than big and heavy, from 45-year-old vines on dark slate in Anjou.

Cabernet Sauvignon from 45-year-old vines on dark slate soils in Anjou, farmed by Adrien de Mello with a horse and herbal teas. The grapes ferment as whole bunches for two weeks, then rest a year in tank with no oak and nothing added. Red and dark fruit, earth and warm spice, with a pencil-lead edge from the slate, and lighter on its feet than the oaky Cabernet most people know.
