My kind of Cab Franc. Floral with dark berries and a distinct clay undertone. The large neutral oak barrels add that extra girth and color. I think Xavier is doing a fantastic job in the Loire!

Mmmm a Côt is unlike any other Malbec: fresh, fragrant, light with a touch of earth. The terroir is undeniable.

Lovely wine that shows the essence of cab franc. Opens up nicely after an hour.
