Tasting Note

This wine reveals an intense ruby color with a bright, luminous robe highlighted by violet-blue and cherry reflections. Initially subtle and refined, the first nose offers a reserved yet promising impression, gradually unfolding with air to reveal its depth and origin. The bouquet evolves to showcase a medley of blackcurrant, blueberry, cherry, blackberry, and raspberry, complemented by floral notes of iris, violet, and peony, alongside hints of cedar, mint, pepper, clove, and cinnamon—capturing the essence of pure Cabernet Franc fruit. The palate opens with a direct attack, followed by a rich, stewed fruitiness that adds texture, while pleasant acidity enhances freshness, accented by nuances of eucalyptus and bergamot. The result is a supple, refined, and elegant wine with a lingering, graceful finish.
