Domaine Les Pins
Cuvée les Rochettes Pitault Landry Bourgueil Cabernet Franc
Bourgueil, Touraine, Loire Valley, France
Just terrific! A tad monolithic on night one. Night two (with a thirty minute light chill) is a red berry fruit delight. I’m simply charmed by this bottling.

Smells like fresh oil & jet 🛩 fuel, oh wait thats the Airshow & Oil spill here in Huntington Beach🙄 again.
K&L notes
This is a fresh, snappy berry-driven rosé with delicate floral notes. It's bright and crisp, delicious with or without food. Domaine les Pins has been family run for five generations. They are a small artisanal producer that oversees every stage of the production from start to finish. They have roughly 30 hectares of Cabernet Franc spread out through the Bourgueil and St-Nicolas de Bourgueil regions. They practice sustainable farming, and each and every vine gets singular attention throughout the year. Vines of an average age of 25 years are planted in sandy, clay and gravel soils. Cabernet Franc makes for an excellent rosé. Not only does it bring an array of new flavors into the pink world, but the wine has depth and weight that a Grenache or Pinot based rosé could never achieve. This lovely little wine has aromas of fresh raspberry and white pepper with a subtle presence of culinary herbs in the background. On the palate it has great weight and a stronger red fruit presence than you might expect. The note of white pepper persists and carries through to the crisp and clean finish.

Ripe blackberries, raspberries, and plums, cinnamon, flowers on their stems, and herbs.

Pretty big for a Loire cab franc. Jammy dark fruits like black berries and nectarines. Give it some time to breathe. Pleasant finish.
