Stunning nose of vivid tobacco, gorgeous cassis, saddle leather, earth and mineral. Really intense nose. Wow the tobacco and leather are on overdrive. Supple and ripe palate with firm tannins and terrific freshness and some nice opulence but allied with energy. Terrific concentration and super intense mouth coating minerality. This will surely evolve with air and needed a break from Pinot.

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 👍🏼
