Le nez est intense, légèrement torréfié, il dévoile des notes gourmandes de framboise, de fraise, de groseille et de réglisse. La bouche est soyeuse et joliment fruitée. Un bourgueil plaisir!

The "Bretêche" plot is located halfway down the slope of Restigné. The Cabernet Franc vines are young, around 25 years old. They are planted on a white tufa soil formed 90 million years ago during the Upper Turonian, geological stage of the Upper Cretaceous. It is composed of micaceous chalk (the famous white tuffeau), gray or white detritic limestone, micaceous, tender, with glauconite, an hydrated iron silicate. The glauconite presence is extremely beneficial because its decomposition enriches the soil with an iron and silica mixture, easily assimilated by the vine and that protects it from ferric chlorosis.
This plot's wine is shortly aged in oak barrels to preserve the fruit. The resulting wine is fresh and fruity, with a good cellar potential of around ten years.
