Incredibly earthy and bretty, almost to a fault, but still charming with classic Cab Franc aromas of tobacco and blackcurrants. Light bodied, zingy acidity, and slightly stemmy tannins.

Vintage 2012 / Very good domain, same for the wine. Very true to type Saumur with lots of minerals in the smell, red fruit, medium colour and more structure than you would say after a few sips. Love this cabernet franc, terrific drinking on a sunny day out of the fridge.

Ruby-purple colour with appealing cassis, black cherry, and mineral aromas with hint of dried rose and spice. On the palate it's between light and medium-bodied, pure, fresh, and moreish (it took considerable constraint for my wife and I not to finish the bottle in one evening) with chalky tannins and a core of cassis, black and red cherry flavors and very good length. Wonderful value here, especially for a 100% Cab Franc! Will buy more!

Fruity fruity with a touch green and earth. Could down a lot of this.

Light-ish body, rainforest earth, cassis, and minerals. Something else magical I can't put my finger on, like the peculiar sexiness of a Sade album. Gooo-ood.
