Les Gruaux
Mariette et Alberic (Loire)
Cabernet Franc • 2021
A concentrated, elegant Cabernet Franc from Mariette and Alberic. Fruit from the Les Graux parcel was de-stemmed and underwent a 10-day maceration before fermentation in an open-topped, wood fermenter. This has density and concentration in equal parts, with lots of dark, brambly fruit that rounds out the edges. A structural tannin gives length and a certain age-worthiness to this exceptional wine.
