| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.2 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by benjamin96 on 5/30/2020 & rated 89 points: Baies rouges, poivre, poivron vert, longueur moyenne. Bien meilleur apres 1 heure d’ouverture. Tres type cabernet franc. Pourrait etre plus concentre et plus long. Se boit bien et pour le prix, c’est tres bien. (543 views) | | Tasted by andrewstevenson.com on 1/19/2019 & rated 87 points: Very deep dark purplish ruby. Attractive nose: very pretty black fruit with lots of sweet vanilla and an almost white chocolate richness. Lovely full, yet fresh palate. Youthful black fruit obviously - a bit too young at the moment, really. Peppery spice on the finish, not feeling entirely from the tannins. (693 views) | | Tasted by Renevin on 12/21/2018 & rated 88 points: Nez peu expressif. En bouche, c est peu corsé, ampleur moyenne le tout est bien fait, mais manque de fruits. Probablement trop jeune (719 views) | | Tasted by maxima on 6/3/2018 & rated 87 points: Bu en succ. Poivrons et végétaux avec un peu de fraise. Long et assèchant, un peu carré et jeune.

2016 vintage: "Quality and concentration is good, with Chenin Blanc being particularly noteworthy in 2016 while Sancerre is thought to be the best of the Sauvignon Blanc appellations. Cabernet Franc is 'delicious, ripe and fruity' according to Loire courtier Chris Hardy." - Jancis Roninson
2017 vintage reports: Jancis Robinson Vinfolio
"2018 wines will not be typical of the Loire rather they will have the characteristics of wines from much further south" - Philippe Gilbert
