The answer

The main grape variety for the red wines of the Anjou appellation is Cabernet Franc.

Anjou, a land steeped in wine traditions, is inseparable from Cabernet Franc. Often
compared to a wise old vineyard sage, this grape bursts with spicy and aromatic nuances.
In the Loire, it cultivates a romance with the local terroir, offering wines with notes
of red fruits that dance on the palate.

Historically, Cabernet Franc has found a perfect ally in Anjou’s moderate climate and
varied soils. Initially capricious upon its arrival, this grape has adapted to bring out
the best in itself. Its clusters, often harvested early in the season, leave a light and
elegant mark on the wines of this appellation.

Tasting a red wine from Anjou is a journey back in time, a nod to centuries of craftsmanship.
These wines charm with their refined simplicity and reveal the unique character of Cabernet
Franc, always ready to surprise.
