Le Pied de la Butte Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2021

Not for the timid if an in-your-face Cab Franc is one’s introduction to the varietal. That said, a few put away in the cellar will bring much joy down the road. At the moment the wine is defined by dark berries, orange peel, green pepper and yes, even herbes de Provence. Crazy, I know. While a Fleurie and Limniona will bookend tomorrow’s Thanksgiving meal, a sneak pour of this Cab Franc is all but guaranteed. Can’t wait! 🦃🇺🇸🦃 — 6 months ago

@Mesa in Zurich - the wine has lovely expression of fresh fruits, with pomegranate and cranberry accents, on a slightly spicy background. — 5 years ago

9.0

He isn’t from the best neighborhood but he plays it all off so well. He is sweet but has a dark side that I like. He is so smooth and hits all the right places at the right time. — 6 years ago

Lovely smell and full mouthfeel. A real kick from the tannins to end it off (a tad too much without food). — 6 months ago

Diptyque Dernier Cri Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2018

Definitely has the depth and meatiness of a Bourgueil Cab Franc. Almost an inky ruby in the glass, raspberry and bright cherry/ripe plum. More fruit-driven and less green than I expected but very drinkable! — a year ago

Château de Minière

Bulles de Minière Cabernet Franc

Contrary to most reviews I liked this - a lot. This wine is different. Very soft mouth feel with the bubbles. Has tart fruit but a little barnyard funk on it. Had with a cheese and charcuterie board which was perfect with the slight sweetness of the wine. If you're looking to try something a little off the beaten path - this is it. — 7 years ago
