Closed for now, but beautifully harmonious. Keeping the rest for two years before opening again.

A bit lighter for my taste. But French fans will love it.

Odd wine of the night. Cab Franc to top it off. Fresh ripe tomato and tomato leaves, dried herbs (oregano) on the nose. Tastes much better than it smells. Light bodied, with medium plus acidity, slight red fruit feel and herbaceous finish. Again odd wine, not surprising for a Cab Franc, but good tasting experience.

Robe noire
Nez plutot animal fermé réduit l air ni fera rien
Bouche sans intérêt des tanins fermés et une aromatique vraiment sans intérêt
On est loin des vins de rougeard et les chinon de Baudry

Very nice. Quite drinkable so young, more bright red fruit than you’d expect

jammy fruit, white pepper, green pepper..actually overwhelmingly peppery... bit of graphite... bit too firm in the mouth.. acidic, tannic and a tat high in alcohol...
