Currants and white fruits layer with acidity and a tight structure of crisp apples skins. This is a full-in-the-mouth wine, showing plenty of acidity, but also a rich fruit character, hinting at the honeyed sweetness that is not far away.

This single-vineyard wine comes from vines close to the ancient abbey of Fontevraud on the Loire. It is a fresh, black cherry-flavored wine; light, crisp but with some good soft tannins, which open gently and sweetly. There’s a good freshness in the aftertaste.

This has a fruity freshness, while keeping quite a severe core of tannins and dryness. That suggests that it could age for two years, although with its fresh aroma it is drinkable now.

Initially quite rustic in character, this wine does open up to give the typical pencil shavings aromas of the Cabernet Franc and sweet, perfumed tannins. A fresh wine, with good black currant flavors.

The vineyard of Les Vignoles, like so many in this part of the Loire, is planted on soft, chalky soil on a plateau above the river. What gives this wine its attraction is the fine balance between structure and ripe cherry fruits and touches of grilled nuts. At the end, violet perfumes dominate.

A spiced, firmly dry wine, the bitter cherry character dominant. Tannins and flavors of rhubarb, cranberries and final acidity. To taste Cabernet Franc in its purest form, look no further.

A fine, minerally wine, with a firm, solid structure giving rich fruits under the tannins. It is fruity, with red cherry flavors and a smoky aftertaste. This could age for a year.
