Meet a Loire red that's as easygoing as its name suggests. Vincent Wallard, a Brit who fell for the Loire and never looked back, works his Cabernet Franc vines with real care, letting the region's sandy-clay soils and cool climate do the talking. The 2016 vintage gives you bright red fruit — think raspberry and redcurrant — with that gentle peppery lift Cabernet Franc does so well. Vinification is kept simple and honest, with minimal intervention, so nothing gets in the way of the fruit. Serve it slightly chilled with charcuterie, roast chicken or just good company. Uncomplicated, thirst-quenching and genuinely delicious.

Tonton Rouge Cabernet Franc / Cabernet Sauvignon

A friendly Loire red from Vincent Wallard, a grower who works his vines with care and lets the fruit do the talking. Cabernet Franc brings the classic raspberry and violet lift, while Cabernet Sauvignon adds backbone and a touch of blackcurrant. The 2019 vintage was generous with sunshine, so you get ripe, juicy fruit rather than green edges. Gentle vinification, minimal fuss and no heavy oak — just clean, honest drinking with a soft, peppery finish. Serve it slightly cool with grilled meats, a charcuterie board or a Tuesday-night burger. Easy to love, easy to share, and very hard to put down.
