Domaine les Pins - Pitault Landry et Fils
Domaine les Pins - Pitault Landry et Fils operates in Touraine, the heart of the Middle Loire Valley, where Cabernet Franc thrives in cool-climate conditions. The domaine's portfolio centers on the region's signature red wines: La Loge Vieilles Vignes Bourgueil, Le Clos Bourgueil, and Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil. All three are built from Cabernet Franc, the Loire's noble dark-skinned variety, which here develops the mineral precision and structured tannins the region is known for. La Loge Vieilles Vignes Bourgueil, sourced from older vines, stands as the domaine's highest-rated expression. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have assessed the winery's output, reflecting the critical attention these Cabernet Francs command. The wines embody Touraine's terroir: elegant, age-worthy reds with the acidity and complexity that define Loire Valley Cabernet Franc at its best.
