Anjou Rouge L'Aiglerie Terre de l'Elu, 100% Cabernet Franc, Organic Wine, aged in barrels, rich and full, outstanding complexity and basically delicious Loire red. An initial minty nose, followed by red fruits aromas along with fresh herbs and scents of camphor. The smooth, velvety texture softens with fine tannins and the fruity complex finish is long and fresh. Loire red is delicious and sometimes overlooked, the wines can be full but are never cloying and without excessive alcohol. L'Aiglerie with red meats and roast veg is outstanding.
