Located in Anjou in the heart of the Loire Valley, Domaine de la Petite Roche is owned by the Regnard family, who has been growing vines there since the French Revolution, acquiring their first vines in 1791. Today, the sustainably farmed, 83-hectare estate is owned by Gwenaëlle Regnard and managed by Anjou native Antoine Poupard. The property has been HVE certified since 2019. Remarkably, the 60% of the estate's production is rosé wine, though they do craft exquisite Anjou Blanc, Anjou Rouge and sparkling wines from their two superstar varietals: Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Petite Roche's are grown in a mix of schist and limestone soils which benefit from the cool maritime climate of the region.

The Petite Roche Anjou Rouge is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grown on a mix of schist and sandy-clay silt soils. All grapes are destemmed, then fermented and aged in concrete to retain the purity of fruit. This wine pours a deep ruby red in the glass, offering intense aromas ripe red and black berry fruits infused with a spicy and mineral undertone. This Cab Franc delivers a generous, structured and fruity palate with concentrated flavors of dark raspberry, cherry and blackberry balanced by firm, yet yielding tannins. Petite Roche's Anjou Rouge finishes with freshness and depth while exhibiting enough length to entice your next sip. Enjoy with grilled meats, spicy pizzas or soft cheeses.
