2024 Thierry Germain Cep by Cep Anjou Rouge

The 2024 Cep by Cep is Loire Cabernet Franc in its freshest, most drinkable form – bright, crunchy, and seriously easy to love. Grown organically on gravel and shale soils in Anjou by Thierry Germain, this is hand-picked, wild-fermented Franc raised in stainless steel with no sulphur added until bottling.

It’s stripped back in the best way – no oak, no make-up, just pure red fruit, savoury herbs and that classic Loire lift. The 2024 vintage feels especially lively, with a little extra bounce and polish. It’s light-to-medium bodied, super fresh, and has just the right amount of grip to keep things interesting.

Best served slightly chilled, this is the kind of wine that works just as well with roast chook or charcuterie as it does solo on a Tuesday night. If you’re dipping into Loire reds or already a fan, this is a great bottle to have on hand.
