  Very good Saumur-Champigny with a lovely nose of red fruit, cedar and leather. Good balance, mouth-watering finish with sweet and sour notes which I love.
  
  Quite expensive for this appellation - I have mixed feeling about this. On the one hand I think that these wines merit higher prices, on the other hand I can't deny that there are equally good Loire cab francs costing less.

  Top quality cab franc in a warm vintage. Best to wait 3-5 more years to fully enjoy as its just a baby right now.

  Mye blå frukt hopper ut av glasset i tillegg til kirsebær og hint av lakris. Slank og smekker kropp, bra med syre og tørrende tanniner. Bløt of fin lengde med noe lett bittert bakerst på «halen». Frisk og lett vin med god balanse og god struktur.
  NB etter noen timer etter åpning endrer vinen karakter og blir fyldigere og mer fruktig i munnen og tanninene blir mindre fremtredende. Det bitre innslaget i ettersmaken blir også borte. Denne vinen trenger tid + luft.

  Fabulous Saumur. Aromas of cassis, blackberry, green tobacco, bergamot, buddleia, a little graphite and black walnuts... Tangy and juicy, black fruits and complex herbal and veggie tones inform the beautiful inner perfume, something floral as well, tannins are fine but strident, and acidity is quite apparent; the flavors and structure are so very Loire Cab Franc, and I love this typicity. The fruit really shines through on the finish, which is fortunate, as the veggies and tannins are not shy. I love it and I'm sure I would love to follow it for many years, but I'm not so sure it'll smooth out or develop more complexity. Would love to be proven wrong. This is delicious and complex, and I want more.

  Very primary and grapey on day one. Firmed up and showed a bit more interest on day two. Ok for the (low) price; we’ll see how it does with some age.
