Who: Fabien Duveau
Where: Loire Valley, France
What: 100% Cabernet Franc
Fabien Duveau represents the 8th generation of his family estate, having taken the reigns in 2008. Upon joining the domaine, he introduced both organic and biodynamic viticultural practices to the domaine’s 40 parcels spread out over 20 hectares.
The distinctiveness of Les Hauts Poyeux, in addition to its the higher elevation, lies in its 60cm deep topsoil of the famed Poyeux sand before reaching its clay and limestone soil. In vinification, Les Hauts Poyeux sees a long maceration to bring forth the aromatics linked to this soil texture, followed by aging for 12 to 18 months in neutral barrique, to sublimate the aromatics and refine the fine tannins of the terroir.
