Rose petal nose, touch of manure. Pretty classic cab franc vin de soif. Light but elegant and food friendly.

What a difference three years made. The first bottle had great fruit and structure but the farm smell exceeded my limit and never blew off. This bottle was much cleaner on the nose. Beautiful plum, green pepper (within my range of fairness) and earth flavors. Many years left .

Like I'm back on the farm. Stinky, rustic Cab Franc. Oh so beautiful. Clean on the palate with delicate tannins and a warm sour red apple component. Let this wine breathe! 2012 Vintage.

Dark fruits, cherries and pepper. Very ripe. Pretty silky and approachable. The five years of age is probably about right for this wine.

Having worked alongside Foucalt, Germain, Tempé and Gauby before going out on his own, excited for Sylvain Dittière and his quest ahead.

Pretty and very elegant showing the effects of the major hail storms that disrupted the vintage. Subtle perfume aromas of flowers and red fruits.
