Domaine de la Cotelleraie sits in Touraine, the heart of the Middle Loire Valley, where Cabernet Franc thrives in cool-climate conditions. The domaine's portfolio centers on this regional signature grape, expressed across three flagship wines: Le Vau Jaumier, L'Envolée Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, and Pigeur Fou Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil. Cabernet Franc from this terroir typically shows bright red fruit, mineral tension, and the structure that Loire's limestone soils impart. The wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Decanter, reflecting their standing within the region's quality conversation. Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, the appellation represented in two of the domaine's flagships, is known for producing Cabernet Franc of particular finesse and aging potential. The domaine's focus remains on this single varietal expression across distinct vineyard sites, allowing the nuances of Touraine's microterroirs to emerge.
