Nestled on the right bank of the iridescent Loire River, these mature 40-year-old Cabernet Franc vines have made themselves firmly at home in Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil. In fact, this part of the Loire is renowned for its red wines made from this particular grape variety. The old vines give this wine a very special concentration, with notes of racy red fruit and hints of graphite on the nose with a good acid backbone which enables it to maintain its pure fruity crunch.
