Vineyard
The Gard region lies at the southern end of the Rhône valley, a river valley which stretches from Lyon in the north to the Mediterranean delta in the south. Guillaume Letang looked specifically for vines which are south-facing, and thus receive the most sunlight, to source the Cabernet Franc grapes for this wine.
Tasting Notes
Textured and luxurious this is a sophisticated Cabernet Franc from Gard. There is a wild 'after the rain' woodland perfume, with menthol and truffle hints. The palate is incredibly long and layered with bramble fruit, earthy peppery layers and a touch of sweet prune on the finish.
