New release Cabernet Franc Cuve 1A! Burgundy bottle!
93 points! 'Extremely limited, 4000 bottles only produced!! The perfect spring red!
93/100 " The first vintage of this chance discovery – lovely expressive Cabernet Franc in a fabulous vintage for the varietal that would have been lost in the grand vin. This is great, really great, properly great! It sings of Cabernet Franc in all its purity and sublime tension – it’s floral and wild and herbal, those lovely crunchy purple-blue shaded fruits popping in the mouth and imparting a glorious subtle and sapid cool freshness. Graciously soft tannins reinforce the cool personality of the crystalline pure violet-tinged blueberry fruit. Really good – better than you’d imagine good. I’ve never tasted a monocépage Cabernet Franc from either Pomerol or Lalande – this has me craving more." Colin Hay

- 93/100 - 'Superb bouquet, very pure and precise with inviting floral nuances followed by a touch of graphite and elderberry. The wine has juice, weight, freshness and, above all, powerful tannins that are silky! No mean feat. The wine is juicy, elegant, fine and fresh. A must-try. Now - 2033'
