Francois Blanchard La Presse 2022

Style Still Red 

Grape Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon

Region, Country Touraine, Loire Valley, France

A blend of equal parts of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc from fifty-year-old vines planted over clay and silex in the legendary vineyard, La Grand-Cléré. The grapes fermented together as whole bunches for a month, before a year of rest in cuve. Showing plenty of old vines complexity, the generosity of fruit is framed by firm tannins and vibrant acidity, suggesting a long life ahead.
