Catherine et Pierre Breton are a husband and wife team who have been producing wine in the Loire Valley for over 30 years. They are known for their commitment to biodynamic farming practices and their dedication to producing wines that are true to their terroir. Trinch is one of their most popular wines, and it is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes grown in the Bourgueil appellation. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before being fermented with native yeasts in concrete tanks. The wine is then aged in a combination of concrete and oak barrels for 12 months before being bottled. Trinch is a classic example of a Bourgueil wine, with aromas of red fruit, violets, and a hint of earthiness. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright acidity and firm tannins. The wine has a long, complex finish that is both fruity and savory. Catherine et Pierre Breton are passionate about preserving the biodiversity of their vineyards, and they use a variety of techniques to achieve this. They plant cover crops between the rows of vines to promote soil health, and they use natural predators to control pests instead of chemical pesticides. They also use biodynamic preparations to enhance the vitality of the soil and the vines. Overall, Trinch is a wine that reflects the Bretons' commitment to sustainable farming and their respect for the terroir of the Loire Valley. It is a wine that is both delicious and thought-provoking, and it is sure to please both wine enthusiasts and those who are new to the world of wine.
