“Easy to drink, this Cabernet Franc offers a lovely fruity character right from the start. This gives way to a supple and refined palate, with light, well-integrated tannins. A wine that, while still young, pairs well with a pissaladière or cured meats.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026).

About the wine:
Easy to drink, this Cabernet Franc immediately reveals a lovely fruity character. This gives way to a supple and refined palate, with light, well-integrated tannins. A wine that, while still young, pairs well with a pissaladière or cured meats.
About the estate:
Led by the younger generation—Stéphane, Julien, and Vincent Denis, who joined the business in 2003, 2006, and 2009, respectively—this has been a family business since 1920; it started with 5 hectares and now spans 90 hectares. A flagship estate in the Haut-Layon region, renowned in particular for its red wines, but also producing excellent whites and rosés. A (very) safe bet.
