Domaine de la Butte
Bourgueil Mi-pente Cabernet Franc
Loire Valley, France
From a Magnum. Some green peppers and some animal scents, but not too disturbing, medium plus bodied and tannins, some freshness despite the varietal, good but not a wine that drinks easily. 89-90
Clairement Cab franc au nez comme en bouche, poivron vert, un peu animal mais à peine, quand même une fraîcheur et des tannins d’intensité moyenne, c’est bon sans être un type de vin qui se boit très facilement.

Nov 20th, 2016Man, this is good. Tobacco, meaty with blueberry/blackberry notes. Grippy rustic tannins.
Full but fresh and so easy to drink at the same time.
Really awesome cabernet franc.

Strawberry jam at the front, graphite, pepper and tannins at the back ... light, balanced, smooth and energetic
