Franc de Pied

AOC Anjou Blanc

Dry white wine: 100% Chenin

Volume: 75 cl

The Pure Expression of Chenin

Born from vines without rootstocks, planted in 2000, the 2022 Franc de Pied cuvée is a rarity.

Overlooking the Layon from the heights of La Corniche Angevine, the plots benefit from a full southern exposure and a unique terroir of light, well-drained, sandy alluvial slopes. This soil naturally protects the roots from phylloxera, allowing the vine to express itself in its most original form.
