| Tasting note |
Medium ruby in colour, this has a spicy nose which bursts with fruits of the forest. It displays impressive concentration and a firm, but relatively elegant, layered structure that is well wrapped in juicy, succulent red and black berry fruit. The fine, salivating finish is long and persistent. Drink 2022-2026.
After several difficult years, Franck is finally able to smile at having made a nearfull harvest for the first time in many years. He explains the importance of pruning correctly to manage the final yield, which meant that there was no need for green harvesting to drop fruit and no risk of over-cropping. Franck describes the wines as “flattering and charming, with rounded fruit, silky tannins and a harmonious balance of alcohol and acidity”. |
