Single vineyard Cabernet Franc with a strong maceration and some age in oak casks and concrete. Dark fruited, leathery, and tannic, this wine is a great pairing for richer game dishes.
From Cabernet Franc grown organically in clay, raised in old oak and cement. The 2018 shows hints of just-snapped pencil lead and damp flowers under a layer of earthy brett. The palate is fresh, with very fine, friendly tannins that allow the black cherry-like fruit to speak. Superb.
A luscious example of pinot noir with solid red and dark fruit notes and a microcosm of floral, loamy forest floor on the palate. Savour now or 10 years from now.
Cellar a bottle or two of this superb wine while you drink our two other terrific Domaine Guion Cabernet Francs in the meantime. Made only in the best vintage years, from 70-80 year old vines, it gives Lambert's "Moleton" a run for its money.
