Cabernet sauvignon de Loire. Donc de France
Robe noire
Nez thym laurier crème de cassis sauce soja
Bouche généreuse crémeuse mais dense finale gourmande
Finale sur la mûre écrasée avec cette note rustique mais noble
Très très beau vin nature et equilibre
Que les soit disant vignerons natures prennent de la graine et apprennent ce que nature veut dire

N est ce pas mr Bouju, mme Dumora et tant d autres .... restez humble et faites des vins stables
Curieusement ma cave est la Même pour toutes les bouteilles mais les votres finissent souvent à l évier — 6 years ago

Vintage 2019 | Modest cooperative wine that gives enormous joy, 55% gamay 45% pinot noir, beautiful raspberry in taste. Rather unknown Loire wine. Paired with jambalaya with mussels, shrimps and chorizo — 3 years ago

Great balance, texture, and complexity at a really nice price point. There’s a healthy dose of autolytic, earthy, and spice elements here that seem to be associated with the solera-reserve wines utilized. Brisk and chalky, very refreshing and enjoyable. 50 CH 30 PN 20 PM, 70% 2014 30% Reserve solera started in 1986, 5g/L dosage, 5/2017 disgorgement — 7 years ago
