Anjou domaine Matignon Cuvée "Sur le Fruit" red loire valley wine

Description

Domaine Matignon “Sur le Fruit”: A Fresh and Fruity Anjou Red

Domaine Matignon “Sur le Fruit” is a red wine from Anjou in France’s Loire Valley. Made from 100% Cabernet Franc and grown on clay and schist soils, it is crafted to highlight the grape’s fruit-forward character. The wine is matured in vats rather than oak barrels, helping preserve its fresh aromatic expression and approachable style.

Red berry aromas and a supple palate

The wine displays a lively ruby-red colour. Its nose is marked by red-fruit aromas and delicate floral notes, creating an inviting first impression. On the palate, freshness and supple texture make it easy to enjoy with food. The winemaking approach aims to extract colour and tannins without excessive intensity, allowing the fruit to remain at the centre of the tasting experience.

A versatile wine for everyday meals

“Sur le Fruit” works well with a range of familiar dishes. Try it with charcuterie, grilled sausages, barbecued meats, roast chicken or mild cheeses. It can also complement savoury tarts and simple vegetable dishes. Serve it slightly chilled at around 13–14°C to emphasise its freshness and lively fruit character.

Serving and drinking window

This cuvée is designed in a youthful, fruit-focused style. The exact drinking window may vary by vintage, so check the bottle label or current producer information for details relevant to the specific wine you have. A short period of aeration before serving can help its aromas open up, although elaborate decanting is generally unnecessary for this approachable style.

Domaine Matignon “Sur le Fruit” is a welcoming choice for anyone who enjoys fresh, supple Loire reds with an emphasis on fruit and food pairing. It is particularly suited to casual dinners, shared meals and relaxed occasions with friends. Please enjoy responsibly.
