Thomas & Charlotte’s Magellan is proof of the concept that the terroirs of the Anjou are just a remarkable as any of the other great Cabernet Franc terroirs in the world. For Magellan, they utilize 80-year-old vines grown on chert-flecked soils of shale and sandstone and makes a wine of incredible depth and finesse. It is fermented, whole-berry and by indigenous yeasts in amphorae and aged for 20 months in neutral French oak barrels before bottling.
