Named in honour of the winemaker's mother, La Cuisine de Ma Mère from Domaine Grosbois is a beautifully pure expression of Cabernet Franc from the heart of Chinon. Bright aromas of redcurrant, black cherry and raspberry are complemented by notes of violets, fresh herbs and a subtle graphite minerality, leading into a silky, medium bodied palate with fine tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, savoury finish. Fresh, elegant and wonderfully food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with roast chicken, pork, duck, grilled vegetables or mushroom dishes.

Cabernet Franc (100%)

A key Bordeaux variety, particularly important in Saint-Émilion and the Loire Valley, where it produces wines of freshness, aromatic lift and structure. Typically showing flavours of red currant, raspberry and plum, it is often accompanied by distinctive notes of violet, graphite and a gentle herbal edge. Medium bodied with bright acidity and fine tannins, Cabernet Franc brings elegance and precision rather than weight. In blends, it adds lift, perfume and freshness to Merlot, while as a single variety it can produce refined, food-friendly wines with a clear sense of place and excellent versatility at the table.

Loire Valley - One of France’s most diverse wine regions, stretching from central France to the Atlantic coast. Chenin Blanc thrives here, producing wines known for their freshness, mineral character and ability to age gracefully while retaining vibrancy.
