The nose is very expressive, with fresh notes of wild fruits, blackcurrant and liquorice. Then spices take over, the palate delights with firm yet silky tannins. A wine that takes you out to sea! In its youth, the wine will go well with lean, full flavored meat (lamb, roe deer... ) or with duck breast with cherries. With age, it will marry better with more mature or marinated meat (wild boar, beef ...).

Wine AdvocateThe dark cherry-colored 2013 Anjou Village Magellan is 100% Cabernet Franc from 70-year-old vines on quartz and schist. Fermented for five weeks on the mash and then aged for 123 months in amphorae, the wine opens with a pure, ripe and spicy, remarkably fine dark berry and floral aroma, with finest slatey and peppery flavors. Full-bodied, enormously fine, pure and juicy, this is an intense and perfectly ripe, yet fresh and finesse-full Cabernet; it has silky tannins and a great balance. The finish is stimulatingly pure and salty, revealing a nice grip and a delicate mineral freshness. A beautiful red Anjou with a lot of Pinot-finesse and elegance.
