Manure and violets and perfumed red fruit. Not a lot of concentration, drink now.

Underripe red fruits, earthy as all get out with some nice floral elements. Nice acid & just a *leetle* tannin.

From sandy terroir. Fresh and light bodied, red fruit forward.

Great funk on the nose when opened. Good red fruit and a mouthwatering wine. A little thin but very pleasant.

Definitely made in style to other Cab Francs from Chinon. Lots of barnyard funk, green peppers and other herbs. Plenty of red fruits too that balance out the flavor.
