Touraine Rouge
Worship his Chenin Blancs, this is a lighter hitting Touraine red blend including cab franc. Not bad but given the character of his whites, a bit bland.

Apr 24th, 2020Perhaps it's a bit too soon for the 2016 vintage. I've liked previous vintages of this Côt (Malbec), Cab Franc and Pineau d'Aunis blend. The 2016 is pretty wound up right now tho. Nice acid, pepper, and raspberry jam. Should be great after a bit of age.

Jul 16th, 2013Really enjoyable chameleon of a wine with dark color from the Malbec, structure from the Cab Franc, and a distinct flavor from the Pineau d'Aunis
