Cabernet Franc • 2022
The fruit was hand-harvested at peak maturity from the eponymous parcel in Faye d’Anjou. The grapes underwent a ten-day whole-bunch maceration before spending a year in old oak barrels for élevage. A serious style of Cabernet Franc which is characterised by deep, brooding red fruits and a density that would lend itself well to further ageing.
