Great palate good balance fresh with great structure and acidity. A little Brety in the nose but not over powering.

Crazy reductive upon open. Beautiful fruit on the palate with nothing but straight peanut on the nose. The nose started to fade from peanuts to green pepper on the finish. Next time I would hav decant for hours. I always find my way back to the same descriptors for Cab Franc from this area, dense fruit, green, and juicy.

If there is a better Cab Franc from Saumur at this price point, it would be found in a fairy tale story read to young budding wine geeks. It just doesn’t exist, so buy this one.
