Sorry gang, hate to rain on the Drouhin parade, but this wine is really lost it’s energy. The fruit is simple on the nose and palate. And the real bummer is that there really aren’t any real interesting secondary or tertiary notes. So, very disappointed that I bought this from the winery when visited, cellared properly and super average. Sorry guys, I so wanted this to be amazing.

Amazing wine! First of all amazing nose, tons of complexity with flint, minerality and great citrus fruit. Acid is well balanced. Palate has a beautiful citrus and long finish balance. Overall it’s drinking beautifully now but could probably last another 2-5 years if you want to see how the terciaries start dominating.

Wow, what a speculative expression of Cabernet Franc! Tons of ripe and fresh black and blue fruit with nice lavender floral vibe on the nose. Beautiful acidity with soft tannins. I picked this wine up at an awesome wine store in Paris and so glad I brought it home. Palate is also showing a nice medium+ finish. Probably has a few more years of life, but drinking really nicely right now. Bravo Luc!
