Domaine Les Roches (Alain et Jérome Lenoir)
Chinon Cabernet Franc
Chinon, Touraine, Loire Valley, FranceProbably my favorite Cab Franc. I had this 3 or 4 months ago and still think about it. Drink this and tell me terroir doesn't exist.

Oct 1st, 2016Strong Chinon. Barnyard and vegetal on the nose, but not too green. Good tannin and fruit upfront. Finish starts off short but with some air gets longer. Served alongside the Harmand-Geoffroy Gevry-Chambertin Vielles Vignes 2005, and was strongly preferred by the ladies at the dinner.
