Saint Louans Chinon Cabernet Franc

Lots of cherry and black current. Soft tannins further softened with some age. Very drinkable.

Pepper, spice; grip, grit; and loads of plush dark fruit

Rustic berry, iron, pencil lead shavings, medium bodied, good tannin. Age worthy.

Bell pepper nose. Light bodied but tight and too tannic for me.

Som recommended basic table wine. Soil, tobacco, wet stone. Paired surprisingly well with oysters. Wine stood well on its own but cab franc still just a blending grape in my book.

From Kermit Lynch

Medium bodied refined Chinon, only slightly green and accompanied by a whole cabinet of baking spices and some fresh berries and a mineral finish. Lithe and light for cab franc. Still a little tight on the palate, probably best to wait 5 years but showing well enough now, especially the beautiful aromatics. This is not lush cab franc but rather great to accompany more delicate dishes.

Not the best franc, a bit cloudy actually

Poivron, fruits rouge, belle longueur (20s +). Très chouette !
