Stinky af- strong cowpie that mostly blew off by the end of the glass. Good stuff underneath. Silky with more fruit, like a mouthful of black raspberries and red currants. Savory/brothy finish and a whiff of pine and cab franc spice.

VdF - tastes carbonic, bright, light coupled with Barnyard. Blows off, wet clay aromas left behind.

Fruit, soft tannins, earthiness, minerality. Great with a meat based dish

2/3 Cabernet Franc, 1/3 Grolleau. Lively acidity with some earthy depth. Tries this @ Le Cercle Rouge, Angers natural wine bar

50/50 Cab Franc/Grolleau blend. Super transparent flavors, great acidity, savoriness, minerals. Kind of a Loire take on Cru Bojo.
