Description

A very pretty floral nose jumps from the glass; it mingles with darker berry fruits. The palate has a natural freshness with a bramble, chalky, mineral note and a hint of smoke. It's delightful and drinking so well already, but it has lots of potential to age further with the lively acidity and fine tannins.

About this wine

Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is widely planted in Bordeaux and is the most important black grape grown in the Loire. In the Médoc it may constitute up to 15% of a typical vineyard - it is always blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and is used to add bouquet and complexity to the wines. It is more widely used in St.Emilion where it adapts well to the cooler and moister clay soils - Cheval Blanc is the most famous Cabernet Franc wine in the world, with the final blend consisting of up to 65% of the grape.
