Description
Cuvée Arbre aux Fées Rouge is a blend of AOC Fiefs Vendéens wines with 80% Pinot Noir, 30% Cabernet Franc and 20% Négrette. This crimson-cloaked red offers a nose of blackberries and wild Morello cherries. Fresh and tender, with supple tannins that give it depth. Best with duck, white meats and pressed cheeses. The clay-silica soil on red schist allows the grape varieties to retain their fruitiness and freshness, much to the delight of our palates. And for those who are curious, the story goes that “L’Arbre aux fées” is a cedar tree that has stood in the courtyard of Domaine Coirier for 150 years.
