Touraine Bécarre La Grange Tiphaine 2020

The wine

The cuvée Bécarre is an excellent example of delicious, fresh and supple Cabernet Franc. After macerating for around two weeks and slow, delicate extractions, this cuvée ferments in concrete vats before being matured for around 9 months in barrels. It undergoes light filtration before bottling. Upon tasting, this cuvée stands out for its ripeness, its aromas of black fruits, its freshness and juicy finish. Far from being defined by its varietal, vegetal side, this cuvée is the perfect easy-drinking wine for with a good cut of beef.

About the Producer La Grange Tiphaine

Domaine Grange Tiphaine is a 15-hectare family domain split between Montlouis-sur-Loire, Touraine and Touraine-Ambroise. The story of the domain goes back to the 19th century, when the Delecheneau family grew a variety of crops on the land. The domain was handed down from generation to generation, until Coralie and Damien Delecheneau’s arrival in 2002. They had met in Bordeaux. Damien manages the vine and the cellar, while Coralie takes care of admin and sales. The domain obtained organic certification in 2007 and biodynamic in 2014. The domain owns excellent vineyards of old vines, of which some are 100 years old. The work in the cellar is precise, and élevages are carried out in concrete vats and old casks. Wines from La Grange Tiphaine have beautiful purity and elegance. A rising star of the Loire.
