Olivier Cousin Le Franc 2021

The grapes are hand-harvested, brought to the winery by a horse, de - stemmed, and gently pressed. Only natural yeasts are used and the juice undergoes an extended maceration. Fermented and aged in a large wood tank (500 Liters) for 18 months.

Since 2012 Olivier has passed on the production of Gamay, Grolleau, Chenin Blanc, and Pineau d’aunis to his son Baptiste. Olivier, in semi-retirement now, only works with Cabernet Franc, which was always his favorite grape to vinify.
