Adrien and Guillaume Pire craft this outstanding Cabernet Franc at Domaine Fosse-Sèche, one of the most unique and forward-thinking estates in the Loire Valley. Their organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards sit on an ancient flint and limestone plateau, a rare terroir that lends remarkable precision and energy to their wines. With a deep respect for nature, the Pire brothers work without synthetic chemicals and encourage biodiversity to create wines that are pure expressions of their land.
Eolithe is a captivating and refined take on Cabernet Franc, offering lifted aromas of wild blackberries, violets, and crushed peppercorns, with an underlying smokiness from the flint-rich soils. On the palate, it is fresh and structured, with silky tannins and a beautiful mineral tension that runs through to the long, savoury finish. Elegance, purity, and depth define this Loire Valley classic, making it an exceptional expression of the region.

Delivery Times
We will look to have your delivery with you within 3 working days of receiving the order but please ask if you need it by a certain date and we'll do our best.
Vintages
We will endeavour to deliver vintages as advertised but they often change faster than we can update (we're pretty slow). So, again, it may be wise to confirm before ordering if you're in need of something particular. Please note: Some bottle images may not show the current vintage.
Surcharges
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.
Returns
If something is wrong with your order or it's not what you expected, please get in touch and we'll sort it out. We'll look to rectify any mistakes where possible.
