“Grown on slate-rich soil, this Cabernet Franc reveals an enticing, understated nose of ripe black berries and charcoal. A hint of minerality refreshes a generous, full-bodied, and sunny palate, featuring rich, slightly grippy tannins. An engaging, distinctive red, perfect for a rare duck breast.” (Le Guide Hachette 2024).

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1 star (A high-quality, recommended wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Victor and Vincent Lebreton are true ambassadors of the Coteaux-de-l’Aubance. The brothers took over the family estate in 1986 and cultivate 60 hectares of vineyards across various plots and types of schist soil. This allows them to craft single-vineyard wines with subtle nuances, reflecting the character of the blue schist (Le Tertereaux), gray schist (Clos-des-Huttières), or purple schist (Le Clos-Prieur). A welcoming estate with reasonable prices. The range naturally shines brightest with the Aubance. The reds are simple and approachable, focused on immediate enjoyment.

About the wine:
Grown on slate-rich soil, this Cabernet Franc reveals an enticing, understated nose of ripe black berries and charcoal.

About the estate:
This estate, located just outside Angers, is a regional benchmark, particularly for its “Angevin delicacies,” featuring superb Coteaux-de-l’Aubance wines on the menu. At the helm of the estate founded by his grandfather, Victor, and developed by his father, also named Victor, Vincent Lebreton—who has been in charge since 1995—manages (in a very thoughtful manner) 75 hectares of slate-schist terroir. The sixth generation is now working alongside him.
