"From the surrounding vines of Beaulieu-sur-Layon, Cédric Garreau makes tiny amounts of exceptional Loire Valley natural wine in a renovated stone building across from his home at the edge of the vineyards. It would be safe to call him a Cabernet prodigy – from his first vintage in 2010, he has been embraced by local wine drinkers and continues to sell the wines locally at weekend barbecues at the winery, while enjoying a dedicated following from importers in a dozen countries around the world. Originally, like a good Anjou producer, Cedric made an Anjou Rouge from 100% Cabernet Franc, and an Anjou Villages exclusively from Cabernet Sauvignon. Starting in 2018, Cédric decided to blend the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc together to create a single red called Métisse, and to renounce his affiliation with the Anjou appellation. A 100% dry Chenin Blanc, a carbonic Cabernet Sauvignon, and micro-cuvées of white and rosé pétillant-naturel complete the range."
