Domaine Leduc-Frouin
La Seigneurie Anjou Cabernet Franc
Dry and light finish, floral almost sweet nose, with bright, tart, peppery notes on the tongue. I used half a glass to reduce the remnants of the rib eye i was preparing and the resulting pan sauce and mushrooms were most excellent — 8 years ago
