A true rarity from the Western Loire, Thierry Beclair’s wines are some of those bottles that natural wine lovers quietly chase. Small production, hard to find, and absolutely worth the hunt. We’re thrilled to have them in the shop!

This blend of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon comes from biodynamically farmed vines, with grapes harvested by hand and given a gentle ~2-week maceration before pressing. Fermentation happens naturally with native yeasts, followed by a full year of aging to let the wine settle and develop. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfur.

A pure, honest expression of Loire Cabernet with freshness, depth, and plenty of character.
