2019 Domaine Andree 'Les Mines' Anjou Rouge, Loire, France
$83.00
The wine is named “Le Mines” (The Mines) because the color of the soil looks like a coal mine. Stephane believes the particular variety of metamorphic rock is black from its high coal & graphite content. That particular geology imparts a unique sense of minerality in the wine.
Les Mines is a parcel of 45 year old Cabernet Franc vines; it’s aged in barrel (30% new) for two years before being bottled
