  Dinner at MingHin (Chicago, IL): This has seriously got to be one of the cleanest bottles of Breton I've had in a while. The fruit profile is about as generous as you'll see in the Loire, with some tart red fruits, and the green pepper herbaceousness seems to be dialled back here. The palate is clean, with the minerality and acidity more prominent. Ready now; there isn't too much tannin here.

  For à cab franc it was pretty nice, and would for sure be better with some ageing

  Too green, better in warmer years. Quite typical though.

  Violine limpide, peu extrait. Nez moyennement intense et net de cerise fraîche, de poivron vert, de quelques touches végétales. L'acidité est bien marquée, les tanins sont très discrets voire absents, l'alcool est tout à fait moyen, il garde une fraîcheur dans les arômes en bouche, avec le fruit frais, la peau de cerise, une pointe herbacée, un Bourgueil très digeste et fin, prêt à boire en effet.

  Ok, this is maybe not a big wine, but I certainly like it's cool and lean style. It has a beautiful blue redish transparent color. The nose has typical cab franc markers such as green pepper, black currant and grass and also some meat. The palate is lean but full of fresh black currant, green pepper and some pencil. Best served cold, drinks we'll right now if decanted but could maybe use a few years in the cellar.
