Grapes used in the production of this tiny Lieu-Dit (named vineyard) are grown on the site of an ancient, third century Roman villa! The Les Villaises vineyard has a small outcrop of chalky soil, ideal for producing smooth and silky Cabernet Franc with fruit compote flavours and delicate balsamic notes.
"Immediately enticing with its notes of summer berries and crème de cassis, this is a smooth, supple Cabernet Franc with fine, silky tannins. From a stellar vintage, this is the fruit of an age-old vineyard in Saumur-Champigny, a discreet appellation punching above its weight.
