About the Session

The Loire Valley is a large region that follows the longest river of France.

Red varieties include Cabernet Franc, Gamay and Cot (Malbec), which produces herbaceous, rustic reds.

About this Item

Van Loggerenberg
Breton 2017
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. The stamp shows a Donnie Merino sheep which was first cloned on Elsenburg and is symbolic of my studies there.' Lukas van Loggerenberg

Critics Ratings

'"I'm a Loire fanatic," says Lukas van Loggerenberg, referring to the style of this blend from Faure and the Polkadraai Hills. Partially whole bunch fermented, it's a fine, elegant, nuanced style of Cabernet Franc, with haunting perfume, velvety tannins and a light, graceful finish. 2019-27' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 95/100

'So perfumed! Beautiful black-olive bitterness. Superb - just so intricate, and with easy drinkability and effortless length. Serious yet super-fun too. Liquid joy!' - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5+/20 (Sep 2018)
