Cep by Cep Anjou Blanc 2020 Cabernet Franc (6 Bottles) Loire Valley, France

Thierry Germain (Domaine des Roches Neuves) is no longer involved with the Cep by Cep project, but by the looks of things, his brother Phillipe is doing just fine. Phillipe Germain oversees the vineyards, which are influenced by the schist-rich, volcanic soils of the Massif Armoricain. Picking up where last year's wine left off, the new vintage is super racy, tangy and bright, with plenty of apple and lemon pith complemented by orange blossom and lanolin notes.
