Domaine Breton is renowned for crafting elegant natural wines in the Loire Valley, particularly in Chinon, Bourgueil, and Vouvray. Their La Dilettante Rouge is produced from biodynamically grown Cabernet Franc grapes, whole bunches of which undergo carbonic maceration in cement tanks. This method, combined with the vineyard’s unique terroir, results in a wine with bright fruit flavors, balanced acidity, and smooth tannins. Domaine Breton's commitment to chemical-free and holistic farming enhances the wine's quality and character, reflecting their dedication to creating refined and approachable wines.
