RED WINE

Tasting notes

This ruby-colored Cabernet Franc has attractive aromas of violet, forest floor, crushed dried rose petals and light herbaceous notes. The palate shows black fruit including blackberry and red plum, it is medium in body and flavor intensity. The finish is long and juicy, enjoy with a wide range of dishes including salads and roasted chicken.

Vineyard

The vineyards are planted on two major types of soil:
- gravelly terraces, which offer light and fruity wines called "Easter wines" or "spring wines", and
- argilo-calcareous & argilo-siliceous hillsides, which produce wines suitable for ageing, sometimes for long periods.
Depending on their terroir of origin, some wines can be enjoyed extremely young or, must be left to age many years before all their flavours are revealed
