$30 bottle
Organic, Loire Valley, France
100% Cabernet Franc from the oldest plot in the vineyard (50 years old). The fruit is hand-harvested. Fermented in concrete vats lasting 15 to 25 days, then aged in three- to five-year-old casks for 12 months.
Certainly one of the best "Les Grézeaux" ever made, the 2014 has beautiful fruit, perfect balance and enough structure for long-term aging. This unique vineyard, on a bed of gravel over limestone, suffers from drought or excess rains and needs alternating periods of dry and wet weather followed by sunshine, exactly as in 2014. The 2014 "Les Grézeaux" is an outstanding wine that will drink well young and will age well for 20 years and more!
