Description

Domaine Matignon Anjou-Villages: a powerful and harmonious red wine from the Loire Valley

In the heart of the Loire Valley wine-growing region, Domaine Matignon produces wines that express the character of the Anjou terroirs. Based in Martigné-Briand, in Maine-et-Loire, this family-run estate has been cultivating vines for several generations. Its Anjou-Villages Rouge showcases the potential of Cabernet Franc when sourced from carefully selected plots.

A terroir well-suited to the great reds of Anjou

This cuvée is made from 100 per cent Cabernet Franc, the region’s historic red wine grape variety. The vines are planted on clay-limestone and schist soils, which help to shape the wine’s character. The Anjou-Villages appellation is renowned for its reds, which are more structured than classic Anjou reds, with good ageing potential.

A winemaking process focused on balance

At Domaine Matignon, the winemaking process in vats preserves the grapes’ natural expression and allows the winemaker to control the wine’s development. For this cuvée, the estate states that the wine is aged for 12 to 15 months in vats, in order to refine the structure and harmonise the tannins. On tasting, it may reveal a deep colour, aromas of red and black fruits and, depending on its development in the bottle, more complex nuances of spices or forest floor.

An ideal red for gourmet meals

Thanks to its body and structure, this Anjou-Villages pairs perfectly with grilled red meats, braised beef, slow-cooked dishes and game. It also goes well with mature cheeses. Serve it at around 15 °C to fully appreciate its aromatic expression. This wine can be enjoyed young after aeration or cellared for a few years under the right conditions, depending on the vintage.

Domaine Matignon Anjou-Villages Red is a distinctive choice for discovering a generous Cabernet Franc and an iconic terroir of the Loire Valley.
