Tabeneaux Cabernet and Grolleau, Benoit Courault 2023

Domaine Benoit Courault, Anjou

An innovative French winemaker, Benoit Courault began his career making conventional wines before embracing natural winemaking methods. In 2006, Benoit established his winery in a restored farmhouse in Faye d'Anjou, in the heart of the Loire, where he dedicated himself to producing natural, organic and biodynamic wines with a respectful and sustainable approach.

The grapes for this wine undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in the winery. Afterwards, 50% of the wine is aged in previously used French oak barrels and the rest in fibre tanks, and then bottled by hand without clarification or filtration, adding only a minimal amount of sulphur.

Enriched with vibrant aromas of red fruits such as fresh strawberries and raspberries, complemented by subtle notes of wild flowers and a light touch of spice. It has a light and well-balanced body, characterized by bright acidity and finely woven, almost imperceptible tannins, which enhance its elegance. The experience on the palate is refreshing and long-lasting.
