Tasting notes
An elegant and expressive Cabernet Franc, offering a vibrant bouquet of ripe black cherry, red currant, plum, and crushed violets. Subtle notes of graphite, pepper, and dried herbs add depth and complexity. On the palate, it is silky and precise, with juicy red and black fruit, fine-grained tannins, and refreshing acidity. A mineral undertone and savory spice carry through to a long, refined finish - capturing both the energy of biodynamic farming and the finesse of the Saumur terroir.
Expert Ratings
Vinous: 92 points
Wine Spectator: 93 points
"Vivid, with a lovely beam of cassis and dark cherry puree racing through, flanked by hints of graphite and alder and scored by flashes of bay, olive and sweet tobacco through the finish. A Loire red lover's dream."
