November 5, 2021 - Raspberries and redcurrants, a green hint of tomato branch, a gravely mineral stroke as well as hints of beet roots and ammonium. I’ve had a bit of a dry spell for the last couple of weeks, so this might be slightly contextual but this really hit a sweet spot for me! Very nice wine!

October 31, 2021 - 100 % cabernet franc.
Robe intermédiaire, un peu trouble.
Nez sur la fraise, le poivre, je ne retrouve pas du tout les marqueurs du cépage mais c’est très joli.
Un vin en demi corp, épicé, vif, joyeux dans un style nature bien fait qui ne manque pas de matière à mon goût mais ne satisfera pas les amateurs de rouges solides et structurés. J’ai trouvé ça très digeste et original, bonne pioche. -

November 15, 2020 - From memory...but a positive one. Juicy, gluggable, went down fast with a group of friends. Not necessarily noteworthy but much more delicious than your average bottle

August 17, 2019 - A very interesting and approachable Cab Franc. I got a bit of raspberry on the nose but when drank, it had a nice acidity and tobacco flavor. Nice soft tannings made it a very enjoyable wine on a summer night. Will def. drink and buy again.
