Lovely cab franc. Medium body. Just enough funky/ earth

ellow is the word that comes to mind here. Fuller bodied than most Chinon, there's some pretty good notes of tea here. Blackberries and the usual Franc vegetal nature. Nice earthiness, as well. I mean, it's got all the parts but doesn't quite hit the high notes.

Green, young, but what you expect from a cab franc.

Interesting nose off the bat. Decent wine if you're drinking it with food but just not my cup of tea.

Much more body than a Loire cab franc, but not overpowering - well balanced with dark red fruit notes

Very floral. Decent wine but better is available for the price point.
