July 6, 2022 - On the ripe side but retains that loire cab franc typicity. Good balance for a hot year. Great value.

Fresh and cleanly made, with enough red and black currant fruit - even showing some borderline confected character - to save it from thinness. But very classic in style.

February 9, 2021 - Lush and open for a Loire CF of this age. Ripe brambly fruits with a smart and polished edge, amidst classic pencil shavings, pepper, and spicy camphorous notes. Rather creamy and volumptuous, it's very moreish, if not a bit linear and simple at times.

December 25, 2020 - Herbal rather than fruity. Thyme, basil and sage. Red fruits and medium tannin.
