From a parcel of 90 year-old vines, this wine inhabits a rarified level shared only with the most elevated red Loires. The mark of such great Cabernets Francs is to transcend the variety, by drawing on the depths of material available to such venerable and deeply-rooted vines. Aromatically, it is in an ethereal world, closer to St. Emilion than Chinon. While the palate poises concentration and lift in a silky texture that brims with salt. There is true grandeur here.
