Vintage 2010 | tuilé rim, mesmerizing deep smell, with vanilla, leather, red cherrie, smell is deep and rich, slowly developing tertiary tones. Very supple taste, no tannins what so ever. Good balance. Paired with a steak and morilles, flambéed with cognac.

Vintage 2016 | 100% Cabernet franc with a very appealing smell with cacao and chocolate, a bold taste with good balance and a minor pepperbell impression. Charming wine. | Paired with steamed vegetables and a pork finch.

Vintage 2010 / Half transparant. Enormous rich smell, at first red fruit, then vanilla, brushwood, cedar, a beautiful mix of spices, graphite. A vibrant taste with hardly any tannins, many acids present. Might be at his top now, though I still have the feeling that it is wise to cellar the wine further. Paired with vegetables/potato gratin and rib eye with red winesauce.

Vintage 2010 / I drank this wine for the first time in Auberge du Bon Laboureur in Chenonceaux and was so surprised I decided to drive to the domaine next day. Visited it once more with winefriends afterwards. Frédéric Brochet is doing great work in a part of France, the #Vienne, that is not known for its wines. This 2010 from Cabernet is developing excellent. Harmonious, red bell pepper. Went very well with Cantonese beef and paksoi. A real gem for the cellar with good perspective. #loirewine

Vintage 2010 very expressive bouquet, with warm red fruit, blackcurrants and smooth velvety structure. The wine wins in expression on the second day, so if you drink this wine: give it time in a decanter #loire #cabernetsauvignon

Vintage 2010 - this wine is developing very good, tasted from a half bottle. Rich nose with beautiful cedar And a velvety structure. Made of old cabernet sauvignon grapes and cabernet franc grapes. Biowine. Good effort of Frédéric Brochet.
