The estate of Domaine Gasnier is comprised of 25 hectares, all within the commune of Cravant-les-Coteaux. The age of the vines average 45 years and are all south-facing, an imperative characteristic, given the marginal climate of Chinon. The Gasniers employ biodynmaic techniques in farming, no pesticides or herbicides. Yields are extremely low. The Gasnier produce aromatic, racy red wines, with great concentration and length. The wines are delicious upon release but are excellent candidates for short-term ageing.

The Vieilles Vignes is made from 100% Cabernet Franc vines that are at least 50 years old grown on siliceous clay and flint clay over limestone subsoils. The wine is fermented in concrete tanks with native yeasts and aged in foudre that are over 10 years old and bottled one year after the harvest. The resultant wine displays wonderful concentration and richness yet remains vibrant and drinkable. Enjoy with roast beef and potatoes as well as spicy chicken dishes.
