Description
Cabernet Francs from the Chinon region are among the finest reds produced in the Loire. Known locally as 'Breton,' Cab Francs from Chinon are typically quite supple and have a distinct green pepper note mixed in among the red raspberry and cherry tones. These wines often suggest a graphite-tinged minerality. This will be a nice match for a meaty stew, particularly one featuring lamb.

Tasting Notes
Some very pure and polished fruit on the nose here, substantial and showing an appealing typicity. Also a fine cherry stone substance to it. Nicely fleshed out on entry though, still with a very well defined acid backbone and light grip of tannin too, slowly building in the mouth. Full, sappy, a touch juicy even, and very refreshing. Cleaner and a little less vegetal than some of the preceding wines. Score - 15.5 (out of 20). (Chris Kissack, winedoctor.com, Jan. 2011)
