100% Cabernet Franc from Bourgueil in the Loire Valley, France.

Cabernet Franc has tremendous versatility as it grows well in both warm & cool climates. In the past, the grape has faced criticism for its under-ripened bell pepper notes called pyrazines.

Climate change & warmer temperatures have produced riper expressions of Cabernet Franc, best known for its supporting role as a blending grape for Cabernet Sauvignon, has become “the it grape” for 2026! The estate conducts a green harvest in the summer, decreasing the yield to add complexity to the remaining grapes.

The wine is 100% Cabernet Franc from Bourgueil, considered one of the premier locations in the world for quintessential Cabernet Franc. Consumers are favoring lighter & more elegant wines over heavier styles & this wine fits the bill perfectly. The wine has a fruit driven style very similar to a good Beaujolais  with savory notes of earthiness, spice, & ripe berry fruit!
