Gilbert Chon 2022 Cabernet Franc 'Le Tristan'

Little did we know that les frères Chon also make an unspeakably delicious and soft Cabernet Franc that offers all the uncomplicated charm of which this grape is capable. As might be expected, the sunny generosity of 2022 imbued this often-lightweight wine with an uncommon degree of sheer fruitiness. And what a bargain!

Notes from the Producer: Located 12 km (7.5 miles) east of Nantes, the Château de la Jousselinière is a quality center of Nantes wine-making, as grapevines have been growing there since 1643. The subsoil is made of granilite and friable schists that can be seen on the surface of thehillsides. The roots of the grapewines go down very deep in the soil, and only after several meters do the roots of the grapevine find the essential elements it needs.
