This Cabernet Franc has a deep ruby ​​color. On the nose, we discover aromas of raspberry, liquorice, violet and a touch of pepper. It also has a chalky side with hints of cocoa. In the mouth we discern the violet. The wood is well melted and the tannins are tight.

Reviews

“Rather than a thirsty, fruity and alluring Cabernet Franc, Orpailleur's is in keeping with the style of those from Domaine Joguet in Chinon. The woody imprint is present, but it serves the classic profile of the wine well, especially after a few hours of opening. Lamb's lettuce, ripe tannins, a pretty fruit that emerges under notes of cigar box and undergrowth, and a long finish, crowned with noble bitters. An excellent wine that can be kept in the cellar until 2025-2027. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2"
- Nadia Fournier - The 2023 Wine Guide

“This grape variety wows the palate in this Quebec wine with its notes of black fruits, peppers and sweet spices. Massive tannins give way to a juicy finish that makes you want to have a second drink. wow! »
