Product Description
91 points in Wine Wine Spectator - "Lovely cherry pit, damson plum and violet notes stream through, picking up light savory and olive details along the way. The fresh finish features an iron echo. Very pure from start to finish. Drink now through 2020."

Product details
Beautifully composed Cabernet Franc of imposing structure in spite of its 12.5%. Its intensity is already evident in the purplish, almost black colour. Ripe red fruit, floral notes, cedar, pencil lead, something animal: not only is there plenty of substance, but complexity too with great purity. Lively, with firm tannins and a long, tight mineral finale with fluidity and roundness on the palate. A grand Chinon. Decant or cellar for 6 to 8 years.
