Category defining Cabernet Franc here from who in my mind makes the top CF in the Loire for the $. Not cheap but it ain't Rougeard $ and per dollar better. Burgundian in so many ways but true to the CF grape...texturallly as fine as silk, fresh, excellent length.

Ouverte par erreur croyant que c était la petite cuvée. Très tres bon mais beaucoup trop jeune.
