A pretty bottle of wine. Lots of dried red cherry and perfumey violet aromas, some ballpoint ink and bitter chocolate, with mild earth tones in the background. Nice juiciness on the finish. Not a lot of power, but can work well with food.

Excellent Saumur nose with the cabernet franc nose taking center stage. Hints of violet, earth, cassis, and minerality. On taste, good fruit up front a bit flat on the mid-palate, and nice mineral finish with light body and medium to light intensity. Elegant and smooth wine.
