Bernard Baudry Les Granges Chinon Cabernet Franc 2015
2015 was a wonderful vintage for this address with superb ripeness. It's packed with fleshy, floral-noted, purple fruit aromas and flavours and finishes with crunchy freshness and mouth-filling perfume.
''This is a fine creamy wine, rich in white fruits with just a hint of citrus. The aging has given it concentration and depth, spice and a strong mineral character. '' Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
This is delicious. It is sleek and fresh with floral, nectarine and pear aromas. In the mouth it bounces around with good concentration and a nice minerally finish that is the hallmark of all Jerome's wines.
Domaine de la Chevalerie Galichets Cabernet Franc 2011
This is an easy drinking Cabernet Franc that is ripe and robust, earthy, with smooth tannins and varietal aromatic characteristics of red-berries, herbs and spices.
Lime, grapefruit, white fruits, pear and apple, salty and citrus notes are generously present on the nose. Lime and soft notes of the sea provide a good balance and a great freshness in this Muscadet.
''Citrus and peach aromas and gooseberry. A good ripeness of plum and yellow peach fruit. This is a classy and expressive Sancerre.'' 94 Points, Decanter Magazine
Domaine du Pas St Martin Saumur ‘Pierre Frites’ Cabernet Franc 2015
Domaine du Pas Saint Martin's Le Pierre Frite is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grown in siliceous-limestone soils. The wine has very smooth and integrated tannins as well as bright red fruit and floral flavours.
A pure nose that is mostly fruit and mineral: a bit of green apple and lemon, gooseberry with wet stone and a sense of roundedness (creamy lees). With mouthwatering citrusy acidity. Very pure, pretty good length.
Intense and complex, first suggesting violets and lychees, then its nose develops citrus aromas with rhubarb and apple notes. Fresh attack followed by a demanding mouth, then a touch of acidity at the finish with rhubarb and lemon hints.
