Chateau de Plaisance Anjou Rouge Sur la Butte

The greater Anjou region is at the centre of the French wine revolution, a place where young (often first-generation) producers have found fertile ground for low-intervention wines that are driving the world's new generation crazy. Vanessa Cherruau and her own Château de Plaisance on the famous Chaume hill, a historic Anjou vineyard, is at the heart of this revolution, rewriting the region's history with stunning dry wines made mainly from Chenin. But Vanessa is also the only producer with red varieties on the Chaume hill. Sur La Butte is perhaps the most appealingly elegant blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc imaginable. Aromatic, with perfect lines, lovely clean fruit and spicy characters. Light, direct, crisp a beautiful -cool vineyard- expression of the variety.
