100% Cabernet Franc from the single-vineyard site, Aiglerie. The vines are 35 years old, on schist soils. Maceration-infusion in whole bunches for 3 to 5 weeks. Natural fermentation using native yeasts. The free run juice and pressed wine are blended together and then aged for 30 months in old barrels. No filtration.
Mint, bay leaf and aniseed on the nose, opening up to red fruits and herbs, with a savoury edge. Smooth and refreshing tannins.
The Aiglerie vineyard is direct south facing and encircles the Château de l’Aiglerie, which dominates the Layon Valley.
Every wine in Mitchell & Son has been carefully selected, researched and taste tested by our team, so we stand behind each selection on our retail list. If you are not happy with a wine, a delivery, or any aspect of our service, please contact us and we will be only too happy to help you in any way we can.
