ORIGIN OF STAINED GLASS :
St Vitus cathedral – Prague
COMMENTARY :
Subtle nose, cajoling, on the fruit. Gourmand texture feeling like a red fruit basket infusion, strawberry notes, cherry and raspberry, beautiful freshness, flexible tannins, a playful wine with a lot of energy which does not leave indifferent. Souple & spiced final mouth… A very delicate wine which will be able to age quietly in your cellar.
“This 4 hands cuvée is made with my friend Xavier. This is the alliance of those two mythic grapes varieties from the Loire : Gamay & Cab Franc. A real mischievous wine, crunchy, full of fruits… Remember to help yourself with a full glass from the opening of the bottle as, believe me, the bottle will come back empty to you once gone round the table… even with only 3 people drinking… ” Fred
