About the Session

The Loire Valley is a large region that follows the longest river of France. The Loire is an exceptional place to find lean, racy, white wines, including those of Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadet. Red varieties include Cabernet Franc, Gamay and Cot (Malbec), which produces herbaceous, rustic reds.

About this Item

Van Loggerenberg
Breton 2018
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
The name Breton is from the old French name in the Loire for Cabernet Franc. We chose this name as it was in the Loire valley that we made the final decision to start Van Loggerenberg Wines. The silhouette of the woman symbolizes the elegance of Cabernet Franc and is emphasized again by the Percheron horse. This breed is always perceived as a rough brute of a horse but in my view is very elegant and in that way similar to Cabernet Franc to me: firm but with great elegance.
The landmark on the label is in the Bluegum Grove vineyard used in the wine. - Lukas van Loggerenberg

Critics Ratings

'Classically leafy Cab Franc nose. Lightly herbal and stemmy but rich in dark cassis and cassis leaf. Concentrated and still fresh. Juicy yet with good fruit depth.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Sep 2019)

'Lukas van Loggerenberg is a kind and gentle giant who makes wines that combine elegance, precision and sheer pleasure. This delicious Cabernet Franc comes from three farms in the Polkadraai Hills and is a grassy, delicately articulated marvel. Violet and lead pencil aromas segue into a fresh, nuanced, subtly wooded palate. 2020-28.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 95/100
