Raspberries, wrapper leaf, touch of attractive and appropriate pyrazene. Good density and richness for such a fresh vintage. M. Chevallier never disappoints.

Rich, dense and textbook true-to-type. Raspberry, wrapper leaf, mocha. Tons of extract, fine tannins, plenty of chalky minerality. #saumurchampigny #cabernetfranc

A bit thin and seemingly winding down. Tannins on the finish seem underripe.

Excellent cabernet franc où se côtoient les arômes végétaux et floraux. Structure irréprochable quoi qu'un peu court.

Collin says raspberry, I say it’s red. Doesn’t dry out the mouth with tannis like a lot of CFs, probably due to age and lack of decantation. Great everyday red.
