Cabernet Franc / Grolleau
Lapinou Rouge 2024
Delmee

Grape Variety: Cabernet Franc, Grolleau

Producer: Philippe Delmee (Domain Les Goelands)

Region: Anjou, Loire, France

Wild Scale: 4/5

Vegan friendly wine

10.5% alcohol

Winemaking: Organic Cabernet Franc & Grolleau grapes were hand harvested and underwent fermentation with indigenous yeast. Bottled with no filtration, fining or added sulphur.  

This Wine: Natural red wine with a light to medium body. Now in its second vintage, Philippe has switched up the blend in 2024 bringing in Cabernet Franc to replace Pineau d'Aunis. Light and fresh with a touch of Co2 on opening. Still easy drinking but with deeper, darker fruit, this is brilliant value and can work with or without food. Also great chilled.

Notes on the Winemaker: Philippe Delmee is situated in Anjou where he works with the famous varieties of the region, Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc as well as some Grolleau and Pineau D'Aunis. He manages to find a balance between making more serious wines alongside gluggable, bistro style bottles. He also has a cool record collection and great taste in music!
