Beatrice et Pascal Lambert, Chinon Les Terrasses

100% Cabernet Franc. From gravelly and sandy soils, these 15-35 year old vines are hand picked and left to macerate in concrete vats for fourteen days. Aging occurs in concrete as well between 6-12 months with no sulphites added until bottling; a measly 10mg/l at bottling. A beautiful combination of fresh strawberry fruit with a hint of ripe cherry, combined with fine grained tannins and just the right touch of that forest floor smell. Easy drinking, fruity and lively wine with soft tannins.
