Consonance is a term from the music world and means something like 'sounding together.' A perfectly suitable name for this blend of Cabernet Franc and Pineau d'Aunis. A match made in heaven! The lesser-known grape (and recently one of our new obsessions), Pineau d'Aunis, gives this wine some wild dried strawberry and forest vibes. It’s all very light on its feet and great with a chill.

Delicious With

Thai cuisine, filet mignon, or match this with charcuterie. Try shrimp with pesto pasta, steak with chimichurri sauce, or arugula salad with strawberries, and walnuts.

Their Cred

Jonathan Maunoury has a PhD in Chemistry and spent 10 years as a researcher for next generation smartphone displays (UK and Belgium) before he felt the need for more open space and a life outside the lab. He went to wine school in Beaune and cemented his experience at a variety of biodynamic domains in Burgundy, Champagne, the Rhône and the Loire Valley. In 2017 he struck out on his own, taking over 5 hectares of vines around the hill of Puy Notre Dame, just southwest of Saumur in the Loire Valley. The vines had been farmed organically for 20 years and Jonathan started working biodynamically in 2017. Most of his plantings are Cabernet Franc and he has a little Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pineau d'Aunis. He harvests by hand, ferments with natural yeasts and doesn't fine or filter. His goal is to make genuine wines that are as natural as possible with little intervention as possible.
