Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc

Way too expensive for a Brett Bomb

2009 | Cabernet Franc

Very supple and silky. Evolving in the glass. Violets, plum, green bell pepper, iron and blood. Quite lean. Very good

It is simply a glorious wine in a glorious year. Happy to have some.

CF with the finesse of Chambolle Musigny

Truly a lesson in finesse. Bright refreshing but substantial and textured. Pepper, wood smoke, pomegranate and cranberry, rosewood. So much!

14 Anjou side by side 💥💥

(Le Clos). Without question my favorite wines from the Loire, both red and white. Complex, concentrated and finessed showing red currants, violets, exotic spices, damp earth, black truffle, roasted herbs and with a beautifully elegant texture and mouthfeel. Finishes long with very good depth and precision. And Le Clos is just their starting line. 💥

What a wine, once opened up.
Superdry but super structure.
Complexity and long long long.
I’d be totally lost without the label, got some Provence scents, herbs, sun, jam and then austerity, austerity, austerity.
Probably could have wait a few more years.

Quite austere and very green, in a lovely way. Perhaps too young...
