Chateau d'Epire Clos de la Cerisaie Anjou Rouge

Château d’Epiré is a true guardian of Savennières history: for centuries, the property has been the source of profound, age-worthy Chenin Blanc that evokes the local schist soils with utter transparency. But the Anjou region is also Cabernet Franc territory, and the Bizard family—who has owned Epiré since the 17th century—makes this wonderful rouge, too. It is a lively, brisk wine, showcasing pristine red fruit and a hint of herbs over a firm foundation of stony acidity.
