Vintage 2019 | very true to type Cabernet Franc - with blackberries and cherries in smell, a faint austerity in taste, good acids, lovely effort | paired with a mushroom lasagne | one glass was left over in the bottle with an oxy-stop, this glass was excellent after 5 days: nice silky structure in taste without any sharp edges — 9 days ago

Really enjoyable cab franc from the Loire. Lively and fun and seemingly carefully crafted to achieve a beautiful, round finish, not like new world cab franc and definitely not spicy, or fruit forward. — 24 days ago

Moins top que la dernière bouteille, du poivron rouge et des notes végétales nobles mais la magie Rougeard n’est pas tout à fait au RV. Manque un peu de profondeur cette bouteille.

Lacks the usual depth despite the red peppers and “noble” vegetal aromas, bottle mot as good as the last one i had of this 2012. — 16 days ago

We really enjoyed this. Went well with steak tartare at Angele in Napa. Good floral Franc with blue fruits and nice soft tannins. — 17 days ago

Showing beautiful purity & expression of Cab Franc that is still youthful & will keep developing over time. — 9 days ago

Compelling aromatics. Yellow apples, ginger, dried flowers. Medium bodied. Very fresh, long finish. — a day ago

9.1

A warm vintage, medium lemon color with aromas of white fruits and wet stone aromas. On the palate flavors of ripe apple & peach, very complex, lively acidity. Long finish ending with mineral and sweet honey character, should age well, but great now! — 6 days ago
