Cab.Franc
Cabernet Franc is widely planted in Bordeaux and is the
most important black grape grown in the Loire. In the Médoc it may
constitute up to 15% of a typical vineyard - it is always blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and is used to add
bouquet and complexity to the wines. It is more widely used in St.Emilion where it adapts
well to the cooler and moister clay soils - Cheval Blanc is the most famous
Cabernet Franc wine in the world, with the final blend consisting of up to 65%
of the grape.
Cabernet Franc thrives in the Loire where the cooler growing conditions serve to accentuate the grape's herbaceous, grassy, lead pencil aromas. The best wines come from the tuffeaux limestone slopes of Chinon and Bourgeil where growers such as Jacky Blot produce intense well-structured wines that possess excellent cellaring potential.

"The 2007 Bourgueil Peu Muleau comes from 35 year old vines at the top of the sunny slope overlooking Restigne, on aeolian sand that gives pretty violet-scented wines for earlier drinking. The wine shows brilliant purple colour, with violet and cassis leaf perfume on the nose; you can sense ... MORE | ||||

This wine is a Bordeaux legend and is one of the finest clarets ever produced. It has reached a plateau of perfection where it should remain for a further 20 years. A full-bodied wine with medium tannins offering decadent amounts of exotic, sweet, black fruits and mocha on the nose. | ||||
