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 as well as an enticing sparkling rosé and a rare Chinon Blanc. The wines are delicious upon release but are excellent candidates for short-term ageing.
Fabrice Gasnier's La Cravantine is a sparkling rosé made from 100% Cabernet Franc. The juice is from a direct pressing to preserve the fruit character of the grapes, and made in the traditional method. Bright, fresh and energetic, this is a sparkler to enjoy as an apertif, with light appetizers, or relax with on a beautiful day.
