100% Cabernet Franc goodness from 45-year-old organic estate vines from a 6-hectare vineyard called La Grande Vignolle. The lieu-dit is on a chalk cliff set back from the Loire River on a high plateau at the northern limit of the Saumur-Champigny appellation, which along with Chinon and Bourgueil, is the source of the greatest Cabernet Franc wines. Starting with the classic aromatic fireworks, this is savory with pure fruit, great balance, and lots of terroir-action. Enjoy over then next seven to ten years with any manner of pork, chicken, lamb or beef dish you can think of. Perfect brasserie red - pass the steak frites! This wine is an insane deal.
