Ruby colored with beautiful aromas of strawberry and green pepper accompanied by tobacco and floral notes. Savory on the palate with striking minerality and a tannic structure which should give it a long life although it’s approachable now . A Peter Weygandt selection made by Marc Plouzeau from a parcel of 150+ year-old ungrafted vines in Touraine that escaped phylloxera in the 19th century. 12.5% ABV. $40.

Black cherries and chalk in perfect harmony. Long and structured. Drinking beautifully and just hitting its stride.

Jun 25th, 2016Similar flavor profile to the 07 but more piercing and longer in the mouth. WOTN for me. Thanks again @Warren L .

May 15th, 2016Very pretty and complete. This was in the ready to drink zone. A perfect mix of sweet dark fruit and chalky savory notes.

May 15th, 2016I need more cab franc in my collection. Love the clean, bright chalkiness and pure forrest fruit flavors in this wine.

2012. Terrific wine. So Pure. Give it some time in a decanter and as it unwinds, it starts to show the Chambolle side of Cab Franc.
