Nose showing dark raspberries, cherries, bell pepper clay & dust. Bright and crisp on the palate with nice dark fruit, fennel, brooding and medium + finish. Great with a medium rare burger!!

This is the Grand Cru of Clos Rougeards production. 1 hectare in size. This has even more depth, complexity, minerality and another dimension!

About the only Cabernet franc I will ever order. Strong green taste but very high complexity
