Description

An incredibly bright and perfumed nose. Arguably the prettiest wine from the tasting. This is full of very charming red cherry fruit with strawberry coulis and a touch of tartness. This is Cabernet Franc, so there is a touch of that more earthy quality, which comes more so on the palate, which is relatively light but with a lovely texture. Quite chewy tannins work well with very precise and persistent acidity.

About this wine

Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is widely planted in Bordeaux and is the most important black grape grown in the Loire. In the Médoc it may constitute up to 15% of a typical vineyard - it is always blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and is used to add bouquet and complexity to the wines. It is more widely used in St.Emilion where it adapts well to the cooler and moister clay soils - Cheval Blanc is the most famous Cabernet Franc wine in the world, with the final blend consisting of up to 65% of the grape.
