2018 Domaine Mosse Cabernet Franc

WINEMAKER: Agnès, René, Sylvestre & Joseph Mosse
REGION: Loire Valley, FR
VARIETAL: Cabernet Franc
VITICULTURE: Certified Organic/Biodynamic

This Mosse wine is very silky and called Cabernet Franc. It is from the 2018 vintage. It’s 80% traditional macerated destemmed grapes and 20% carbonic maceration for almost a week. They were pressed separately but aged together.

It was in bottle for one year before release, which has ensured the tannins are beautifully integrated. A Vin de France, this is made with grapes from some of the vines that would have traditionally been in the Anjou Rouge. They have eschewed the appellation system now for almost all of their wines.

Founded in 1999, Domaine Mosse has gathered a serious cult following. Started by Agnès and René, now run by their sons Sylvestre and Joseph, the family tend to their 17 hectares of pristine vineyards in Saint-Lambert-du-Lattay according to organic and biodynamic principles. We're always grateful to receive small quantities of these highly sought-after wines.
