Red wine

Cuvée of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon that ferment together spontaneously. They macerate for 2 weeks and mature partly in vats and partly in wood

Perfect for an aperitif based on cured meats and cheeses

Wine for compulsive drinking

The story of Jean Cristophe Garnier is one to be told. And it’s not too different from that of many of his colleagues who become winemakers chasing a dream. Of Breton origin, Jean Cristophe worked for a decade as a Sommelier in some of the best French restaurants and over the years developed an ever deeper love for natural wine.

So he decides to study oenology and gain experience as an intern at some French companies, including that of MarK Angeli, his mentor.

He subsequently settled in Anjou where he purchased two hectares of Chenin, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc and an old press.

His wines are unmasked, clean, with a light oxidative note and exude passion beyond the glass that contains them, the same that has made them famous throughout France.

In Vigna Jean Cristophe has a poorly interventionist philosophy. In the cellar he uses native yeasts which stimulate spontaneous alcoholic fermentation. It does not use additives, it does not filter or clarify.
