Made in the best vintages only, from a 1.45ha walled Clos planted to Cabernet Franc and Cabernet-Sauvignon with an average age of 35 years. Unoaked. Lovely, sweet Cabernet fruit, slightly lactic even, ripe acidity, subtle notes of pepper and undergrowth, silky but a nice (if light) hint of tannic grip, good length. No great depth or weight, but a charming Loire Cabernet. Much more suave and creamy than most, for once there was a point to using macération carbonique.

Freshly opened bottle. Essentially identical to my note of yesterday, perhaps just slightly more austere.
