LoireTasting #6 - cab franc serie
Deep garnet color, thick (not filtered, not glued) Beautiful evolved notes - red fruits, licorice, pomegranate, and many shades between undergrowth, spices etc. developing during tasting. A Loire wine that has magnificently endured 18 years in cellar and needs to take the time to open.

Robe grenat profonde, épaisse (non filtrée, non collée) Belles notes évoluées - fruits rouges, réglisse, grenade, et nombreuses nuances entres sous-bois, épices etc. se développant en cours de dégustation. Un vin de Loire qui a magnifiquement supporté 18 ans de garde et qui a besoin de prendre le temps de s’ouvrir. — 3 years ago

This is equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but my nose keeps telling me it's Syrah. Heat and spice on the nose. Muted dark fruit flavors, blackberry, raisin, figs followed by powerfully bitter tea leaves, red apple skins, and stone. A lingering tannic finish. It's good, but should have been decanted and paired with food, not sipped before bed. Try again tomorrow.

Surprising Gamay with a classic and classy style, evoking Burgundy by its light side as much as the northern Cote-du-Rhône by its density. The aging in oak barrels is admirable for the way it supports the fruit without masking it. A beautiful bottle with an aging potential of at least 10 years.

Gamay surprenant au style classique et classieux, évoquant la Bourgogne par son coté léger autant que la cote-du-Rhône nord par sa densité. L’élevage en fût de chêne est admirable par la manière qu’il a de soutenir le fruit sans le masquer. Une belle bouteille avec une potentiel de garde de 10 ans au moins. — 5 years ago

Medium deep lemon , old gold colour , slightly hazy appearance. Intense on the nose with iodine , sea breeze , green apple and Indian spices . On the palate this also shows a lot of intensity and grip , really quite young apparently . Green apple , toasted almonds , orange rind , curry and a strong seaside component . Long and complex on the finish with , really fresh saline tinged acidity . This is seems pretty young and I would imagine can still go another decade or longer. — 9 months ago

All of the garrigue. Tasted alongside the Longue Garde version but this was the superior wine for right now. — 3 years ago

2019 vintage. Château La Fleur Cailleau, Canon-Fronsac. Bought in 1982 by Paul Barré (also Château La Garde, Fronsac) and managed these days by his son Gabriel and his wife Edith. Biodynamically farmed since 1990. Very impressive indeed, with an exemplary purity of fruit, ripe tannin and energetic acidity. Highly recommended. Abv. 14,5%. — 4 years ago

Solid nose of dark red fruits. Tannic yet silky and long finish. This is an excellent old-world merlot/cabernet blend with finesse. It can stand on its own, or be enjoyed with food as it is a little on the acidic side. — 4 years ago

Picked up a split of this because all my .375 empties got accidentally thrown out (I use them to store unfinished bottles in the fridge). So I was mostly after the bottle itself but what’s inside happens to be superb—lime, apple and floral notes with fine but not hard edged limestone mineral character, softened perhaps by the clay component of the terroir. I Sancerre-ly enjoyed it! — 6 years ago
