COMMENTARY :

Nose marked with great depth; intense, captivating, it develops notes of black fruit and red berries, blackberry, wild strawberry. Menthol and camphor notes and bitter cocoa notes aeration take you on a playground far from Cabernet Franc standards. Engraved wine, pure and crystalline Loire built on a balance finesse, freshness and tannins still tight; tannic load are all moderate given the eight months of maceration in amphorae. A wine vinified to sublimate Cabernet Franc and out of the box, a certain idea of finesse and delicacy to the final with a wine of great purity without over-extraction. Leave the bottle in your cellar quietly minimum 2/3 years.
