Filth generation winemakers Jean Christian and Sophie Bonnin from Anjou in the Pays de La Loire has been producing wine sustainably for more than 20 years.
Located on the border of the Saumur and Anjou Rouge Appellations, Famille Bonnin, also known as La Croix Des Loges, is presenting its light and fruity Cabernet cuvée “Un Point C’est Rouge”. Sophie and her husband, who both trained in Oenology in Montpellier, come to Wine Paris & Vinexpo Paris every year and are looking for exporting partners. Sophie said: “We are targeting restaurants and bistros with this red, which goes well with everything, including charcuterie and cheese. During the summer months it can be drunk a little chilled and can keep for up to five years.” The Terra Vitis certified domaine, which is already working with partners in the United States and Japan, is also presenting its award winning Rosé de Loire range. Made from Cabernet and Grolleau, the rosés have a lot more character than those found further South and are therefore better suited to having with meals. Spread over 43 hectares, mainly in Martigné Briand near the town of Terranjou, the vineyard also experiments with Chardonnay, Grolleau, Gamay and Pineau d´Aunis for the creation of innovative cuvées.
