Globule Rouge is made primarily from Cabernet Franc (90%) with 10% Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from 45-year-old vines planted on schist soils in and around Saint-Aubin-de-Luigné, Anjou. The Cabernet Franc was fermented as whole bunches before being pressed to fiberglass cuve. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts; unfiltered; minimal added sulfites.
The schist subsoil — part of the ancient Armorican Massif, locally called Anjou Noir — lends a mineral, slightly saline quality to the wine. The 2019 vintage in Anjou produced ripe, concentrated fruit, and this wine has developed notable structure alongside its fruit, with firm but integrated tannins for a Loire red.
On the nose: raspberry, blackberry, violet, and a lift of black pepper and licorice. The palate is medium-to-full for Anjou Cabernet Franc, with the Sauvignon Blanc addition softening the tannic frame and adding freshness. The schist contributes a minerality and slight saltiness that grounds the fruit.
