Description

This bright little Loire gem from Thierry Germain is a love letter to Cabernet Franc, distilled down to pure, juicy drinkability.

Hand-harvested from organic vineyards on gravelly shale soils, this Franc ticks all the boxes for purity and freshness.  Raised in stainless steel with minimal intervention, the 2023 Cep by Cep is stripped down to the essentials with no sulphur added until bottling.

Crafted in the spirit of “early to the party,” this Anjou Rouge is all about immediacy and pleasure - think summer berries and woodsy herbs splashed with Loire Valley sunshine. With every sip, it practically dances across the palate: vibrant, alive, and polished with just enough tannic grip to keep you coming back for more. 

For those looking to dabble in the Loire Valley or seasoned fans in search of a mid-week red with backbone, this is an affordable, authentic drop that’s ideal with everything from roast chicken to a charcuterie spread.

This 100% Cabernet Franc is hand-harvested from organically tended vines on gravelly shale soils in western Anjou, just across the river from Savennières. The fruit is fully destemmed before spontaneous fermentation. It is raised in stainless steel for just six months, with no sulphur added until bottling.

This is bright and aromatic, bursting with pretty floral notes, summer berries and complexing notes of woodsy herbs and earth. It zips through the palate with vibrancy, crunch and gently rasping tannic grip. If vibrant, balanced, well-priced, medium-weight reds are your thing, look no further.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
