Community Tasting Notes (2) Avg Score: 94 points

  • Ocean breezes, cherries, and cocoa pop in the bouquet. On the palate, the wine is supple, vibrant, fresh and salty, which helps you focus on its savory, sweet, tart, bright, salty, minty characteristics. The wine blends 80% Cabernet Franc with 20% Merlot, including fruit normally placed into Les Asteries, which was not produced this year. 2021 is the first vintage produced in their new, show-piece cellars. Drink from 2026-2045.

  • Flowers, licorice, black cherry, smoke, spice and fresh, leafy herbs open the nose. On the palate, the wine is fresh, supple, soft and polished, with silky tannins and a spicy, plum and deep cherry finish that delivers just a dab of vanilla and crushed rock coming in on the endnote. The wine is a blend of 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot, which includes fruit normally placed into Les Asteries, 13.4 ABV, pH 3.71. Yields were low at 28 hectoliters per hectare. Harvest took place October 6-14. 2021 is the first vintage produced in their new cellars. Drink from 2025-2042. 93-95
