Ok, it's official, I don't like these barnyard-y Cab Francs form the Loire. If you do, this will not disappoint. The only good thing I can say about this is the funk is toned down and not as bad as others I've tried. Still, that's not a great compliment. Not for me. Sorry.

Doft av lingon och blåbär, lite örter och svart vinbär. Rellativt snälla tanniner, lite mer röd fruktig och tunnare än andra Chinon. Inte bästa exemplet även om den är helt ok.

Pale pink in the glass, tiny bubbles. Wild strawberries on the nose. The palate has more strawberries, nice acidity and herbality in the finish. Bone dry and clean.

Kind of disappointing wine, after 5 years in the cellar 4 out of 6 bottles started to have this carbonic acid taste, a little bubbling. The wine taste itself was "drinkable" but who want's such a wine? I can't recommend it maybe others have more luck with it.

Very nice cab franc from the Loire. Medium body, moderate tannin, moderate acidity. Notes of dark fruit, dried flowers, rosemary, black pepper. Great value for casual weeknight meal

I'm honestly not sure if this bottle was defective, but everyone who tried it hated it. It had a pronounced funk, for lack of a better word, that blocked out all fruit or citrus flavor. It was...weird.

Retail $25. 100% Cabernet Franc. In a few weeks, I will be biking through Chinon once again (it's been perhaps five years since my last time there), and decided that this made sense for our steak night. A good friend brought this over to our home for dinner way back in 2010 when the owners of the cycling tour company I worked for were over for dinner. The owner died this past November, and opening this bottle brought on even more significance. Fairly dark in the glass with black fruit, spice, and a bit of green pepper on the nose. While the fruit is a bit faded, and perhaps a bit stewed, but it instantly took me back to the cobble-stoned streets, the ruinous castle, and the statue of Joan of Arc that characterize Chinon. And I can't wait to get back there in just a few weeks.

My first time trying a wine from this producer - and I like this a lot. Great cut, but this also really spreads out on the palate. Very good!

Limestone & saline minerality. Slightly underripe strawberry and watermelon. Slightly waxy mouthfeel. Incredible.

I tend to agree with OLDWINES that the nose is white peach and pear - but for me the palate expression is more luscious than precise, a round mouthfeel of pear, mineral, salinity, and balanced acidity. Excellent tonight with veggie stir fry and forbidden rice.

This was really tasty.. nose is initially white fruited…pear and white peach. Nice acidity but not bracing. Crystalline rather than rich. Palate reflects the nose with good length. Very fresh and precise. Probably better with some age in the cellar but quite nice already.

My best bottle so far, it may have been a bit shutdown the last two bottles. Now it is really open and giving (although the tannins are still pretty firm). It was even better on the second night. This one has years of life left. Too bad I only have one more bottle.

Overall, unremarkable. There is a noticeable lack of place on this wine. Appreciated a bit in the glass, but definitely needs time after opening. No cellaring potential here. It’s mid-week food wine.

Nose is fresh red fruit + distinct vegetable notes. Smells like a garden. On the palate, entry is OK. Wine is very closed and a bit astringent. Short, tannic finish.

Dark robe, purplish around the edges of the glass. The bouquet is light, hard to distinguish. Sugar, vinegar and tanins are low-medium. This is a wine to drink "en apéritif".

We expected to be more stunned given the pedigree and the price. The wine is good: enjoyable, but not transporting. Well concentrated and evolved interestingly over time (including into the next day). The pallet went through a nice succession of fruit notes beginning with pineapple and concluding with strawberries.

This is a very tasty rosé, lots of strawberries balanced by the perfect amount of mineral and acidity. Great with charcuterie and burgers tonight. This is pricier than I usually prefer in my rosés but in this case it is worth it! Would buy again.
