The 2019 Chinon Les Georges is a savory Cabernet Franc with masses of spice and smoky nuances alongside violets and red fruit. Savory and serious Old World tannins offer a chalky grip on the sappy, fresh finish. Drink now with food or over the medium term. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, October 2021)

Nice franc. Quite perfumery and candied nose. Tart, light but jammy, some forest. Medium acidity.

Tart cherry, herbs, white pepper, freshness and forest. $16. Loire cab franc has my heart for always.

Fun one. Some dark fruit juice well balanced by minerality and a little pepper. Great body and mouthfeel. Would buy again.

Minty black fruit, more forest than pepper, brisk finish, no hard edges.

Smokey bell peppers and crunchy fries leaves, a nice big body with nice big tannins and a good amount of black fruit too!
A wine class take-home, we enjoyed it more the second time around. Probably because it was the 4th french red in a row that night!
