Domaine Ogereau, Les Tailles, 2023

Domaine Ogereau’s Les Tailles 2023 is a refined, single-vineyard Anjou Rouge that captures Cabernet Franc at its coolest, brightest best. Sourced from old vines and organically farmed fruit, it combines pure red berry fruit, lifted herbal spice, and a subtle graphite edge that speaks clearly of its Loire origins.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a vivid, elegant red hue that hints at its freshness and energy. The nose is highly expressive, unfolding with red forest berries, green pepper, jasmine, minty tobacco, pink roses, and crushed pencil lead, all wrapped in a delicate violet perfume. The palate is juicy and finely textured, with a sandy, refreshing feel and lively acidity that keeps the wine moving effortlessly. There is plenty of structure beneath the charm, and the finish is long, sapid, and peppery, suggesting very good short- to medium-term aging potential while remaining irresistible young.

Production
Les Tailles comes from a single parcel in the eastern part of Saint-Lambert, planted entirely to Cabernet Franc on schist soils rich in quartz. The vines are up to 70 years old, deeply rooted, and the grapes are hand-harvested, organically grown, and carefully destemmed on arrival at the winery. Fermentation and maceration are carried out slowly and gently, followed by 12 months of aging in underground concrete vats to preserve purity and finesse.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile red for dishes that echo its freshness and herbal lift: roasted poultry, duck breast, mushroom tart, charcuterie, grilled salmon, or lamb with fresh herbs all work beautifully. Serve slightly cool, around 15–17°C, and decanting is optional but can help open the wine in its youth.

Producer
Domaine Ogereau is a respected Loire producer known for elegant, terroir-driven wines from Anjou and surrounding appellations. The domaine has earned a strong reputation for careful vineyard work, organic farming, and a restrained cellar approach that highlights purity and site expression rather than heaviness. Its wines are especially prized by fans of finely detailed Cabernet Franc and classic Loire character.
