The estate: Located in Cravant-les-Côteaux, in the heart of one of the most beautiful terroirs of the Chinon appellation, Fabrice Gasnier has been at the head of the estate since 1990, belonging to his family since the beginning of the 20th century. Covering 35 hectares of clay-limestone, siliceous and gravel soils, all of the vintages have been certified in Biodynamic Agriculture (Demeter) since 2008. More than 90% of production is dedicated to reds with Cabernet-franc as the sole grape variety. The harvest is manual and the vinification mainly carried out in concrete vats with some aging in oak barrels. The purity and depth of the fruit of the family's wines prove the impeccable management of the estate's vines, producing extremely healthy grapes.
