The grapes come from sixty-year-old vines. 70% Cabernet-Franc & 30% Cabernet-Sauvignon. To the eye, deep ruby dress, bright and clean. On the nose, the wine mainly exhales black fruits. Beautiful intense touches of liquorice, violet and sweet spices are also present. Vanilla and a little bit of tar remind the aging in Burgundy barrels, the chalk brings a nice minerality. The attack on the palate is calm and delicate. The wine reveals all its power in the mid-palate. It's fleshy and juicy. Bright black fruits, liquorice & intense floral concentration are the main markers of the mouth. Maybe a bit messy: a few years will finish melting the mixture. The material is satin. The small fresh tannins are very elegant. The balance is under control, well mastered. The freshness and a nice crunchy fruit enhance the finish. Average length. It's good, we want more. A nice bottle to pair with the Mother's Day lunch. But not sure that it's really worth the 30€ requested… 88pts. [Photo on Instagram]

Excellent Loire Valley wine. Tuffeau tannins are soften. All in red fruits. Easy to drink

Elegant and fresh with a good flavoring from the Cab Franc. Lovely wine but not spectacular.

Excellent Loire Vallée Wine. Cabernet and Cabernet Franc work well together. Great tuffeau taste. Really enjoyed it.

Hey guys, I may be mistaken, but to my nose this is brett "à fond". Lots of it. Leather, horse, you name it. It sure masks the fruit.
