A light, juicy, unoaked Cabernet Franc. With a palate redolent of raspberries and strawberries, it has wonderfully supple tannins.
The Thouarsais rouge is made from Cabernet Franc (known locally as ‘Breton’) and has bright berry fruitscents and flavours over supple earthy tannins. Like many Loire reds it shows well when very lightly chilled and is ideal with kitchen table lunches of coarse pâté and crusty bread.
