Les Quatre Piliers Grande Cuvee Cabernet Franc 2021 750ml

Les Quatre Piliers Grande Cuvée Cabernet Franc 2021 is an expressive and refined Loire Valley red wine produced from the domaine’s Au Dessus de Vitré vineyard in Touraine. Made from old Cabernet Franc vines rooted in red clay and limestone soils over Turonian limestone bedrock, this single-vineyard cuvée captures the elegance and mineral character of its distinctive terroir.
The cooler 2021 vintage highlights freshness, aromatic precision and savoury complexity. Gentle extraction and extended maturation in older oak barrels preserve the purity of the fruit while developing a silky texture and finely integrated tannins. The result is a beautifully balanced Cabernet Franc with layers of red and dark fruit, floral nuances, earthy depth and a distinctive mineral finish.
