Not red, not white: pure Anjou. More grip in the 2019, Chenin’s acidity picking out highlights in the Cab Franc.

100% Chenin. Direct press, fermentation in barrel for 10 months.

40 year old Grolleau vines. Whole bunch maceration for 8 1/2 weeks, hence the name of the wine. One year ageing in vats.

A pale pink rose, it takes its name from the caravan that Philippe first lived in when he started making wine and was commuting from Brittany to Anger.

Philippe took two passes of this plot during the 2019 harvest. The first for Ca Faye Douze, the second, two days later was for Ca Faye Treize. Softer and fruitier than the early-picked ‘Douze.’

Destemmed Cab Franc. A bit wild on the nose when you uncork it, then it opens up, crunchy, very delicate in the mouth.

This has really softened as Philippe’s winemaking has developed. Supple, sappy fruit and delicate aromatics.

A cherry juice-bomb from the sun-blasted 2020 vintage. Philippe remains the master of executing when to pick to retain great acidity. Balanced, chillable, perfect vin de soif.

Whole bunch, light and crunchy Cabernet Franc with spice and a little spritz.
