Description

Domaine Ogereau Les Tailles 2023: an organic red Anjou with notes of red berries and schist

In the heart of the Loire Valley, Domaine Ogereau Les Tailles 2023 showcases the finesse of Cabernet Franc on the terroirs of the ‘Anjou noir’. This organic red wine comes from the Les Tailles vineyard, situated in Saint-Lambert-du-Lattay, in what is now the commune of Val-du-Layon, in Maine-et-Loire. It is made from 100 per cent Cabernet Franc, the emblematic grape variety of Loire reds, prized for its fruity character, freshness and floral nuances.

The terroir plays a key role in this wine’s character. The schist and quartz soils, characteristic of this part of Anjou, contribute to its mineral character and structure. Domaine Ogereau prioritises careful vineyard management and a quest for balance in order to preserve the purity of the fruit. The wine is produced using certified organic viticulture.

On tasting, Les Tailles 2023 displays a deep red colour with purplish highlights. The nose opens with aromas of cherry and red berries, accompanied by floral notes of peony and rose. Hints of spice and graphite round off the bouquet. On the palate, the fruit remains expressive and crisp. The body is well-structured without being excessive; the tannins are supple and silky, whilst a lingering freshness prolongs the tasting experience.

The 2026 Hachette Wine Guide has awarded this vintage two stars, praising in particular its maturity, balance and the finesse of its tannins. Ageing in vats helps to preserve the expression of the Cabernet Franc and the clarity of the fruit.

For food pairings, opt for a grilled cut of beef, roast pork, roast poultry or small game. It also pairs well with terrines, charcuterie and certain mature cheeses.

Serve this wine at around 15 to 16 °C. A short period of aeration can help the aromas to open up. Available in 75 cl bottles, Les Tailles 2023 is a wonderful discovery for lovers of organic red wines from the Loire region who are looking for an elegant, fruity and well-balanced Cabernet Franc.
