Domaine Lavigne is in the commune of Varrains, just outside of the town of Saumur. Domaine Lavigne is a family effort going on its 3rd generation. What started as a mixed agricultural farm with some livestock and asparagus, gave way to vines. Under the direction of Gilbert Lavigne, the vines prevailed. Pascale Levine inherited the Domaine from her father, Gilbert. Since 2009, the Domaine under the care of Pascale and her husband, Antoine Veron. The Lavigne's have 33 ha of Cabernet Franc, which are planted on terroirs of sandy and stony soil. This wine is sourced from their Domaine's best terroir and their oldest vines.
Rich, concentrated, with very expressive aromas of violets and dark red fruits. This wine sees no time in oak barrels for a pure fruit expression. Ready to drink tonight!
