One summer afternoon in Chinon, alongside the river Vienee, and drinking Cabernet Franc, we told ourselves, "we have to bring this wine back home." Although the wine we had that night has been illusive, we think this wine measures up nicely. Cabernet France is a slightly lighter bodied and more peppery version of Cabernet Sauvignon, especially when it doesn't see time in new oak. We hope you enjoy! Better yet, we hope this wine convinces you to visit Chinon one day.
55 year old certified organic vineyard. No fining or filtering. Natural yeast spontaneous fermentation. Aged in 2-3 year old 280L oak barrels for 24 months. Les Rocher des Violettes translates to The Rock of Violets. Can you smell the violets in this wine?
