Chateau Soucherie 'Reliefs' Anjou Rouge

Cabernet Franc

Loire Valley, France

This grand château sits atop a hill overlooking the entire swath of the Côteaux du Layon appellation as it ambles downward toward snaking Layon tributary to the Loire River. Through a change in ownership and a few changes in winemaking personnel over the past decade, this estate’s wines have found their footing as intensely mineral, deeply typical evocations of Côteaux du Layon, Savennières, and Anjou, and their evolution toward organic viticulture has ratcheted up the wines’ expressiveness and dynamism.
