Clos Senechal is a Cabernet Franc from Bourgueil in the Loire Valley. After two years in bottle, this terroir gives silky tannins and fruit as precise and fine as lace.
Catherine and Pierre Breton farm eleven hectares of vines in the village of Restigné, just east of Bourgueil. They make Chinon and Bourgueil, plus a little Vouvray. They received organic certification in 1991, introduced biodynamic practices in 1994, and have recently begun the three-year process of seeking biodynamic certification. Their vineyards sit on gravel, limestone, clay, schist, and yellow tuffeau. Clos Senechal belongs to their Wines of Terroir, which are vinified parcel by parcel and meant for long cellaring.
