Description
The Clos Mazurique vineyard is planted with 40-year-old vines on sandy limestone soil. Made entirely in stainless-steel tanks and concrete vats, it is Arnaud Lambert’s most forward and charming single-vineyard wine. The nose is perfumed and inviting, with notes of red and black cherry, wet stone and an array of flowers. Remarkably complex for such a modest price tag, this is a delicate and juicy Cabernet Franc that would pair well with cold meats and even fish dishes.

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.
