Vintage 2015 | the wine is entering its tertiary phase, no more fruits, but cacao cedar leather, I like this a lot. Refined Cabernet franc taste. Paired with risotto funghi and then lamb chops with salad.

Another nighttime outdoor shot. Another aromatic wonder. Earthy, savory notes with dark cherries & flowers. Powerful Cab Franc with a sturdy tannic backbone. Will be best in a few years, but stood as a great counterpoint to the other wines last night.

100% cabernet franc. without added sulphites. unfiltered wine, very natural. A delight of freshness. very lively wine on fresh black fruits: blueberries, blackcurrants, blackberries. complex notes of copper, tobacco ... deep, dense with a beautiful freshness, rich texture in mouth, a Light but long final. Bravo 👍🏼
