Messanges Rouge Chinon Cabernet Franc 2020

Medium plus purple in color; strawberries, black cherries, and cola on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like tart cherries, raspberries, crushed gravel, and a hint of bell pepper with a long finish. I love this wine. Nellie likes it. We both think it paired really well with seared tuna. — 2 months ago

30+ minute decant. Dark red color. French terroir, bell pepper, and green elements on the nose. Wine has close to zero fruit, but an abundance of spice and vegetable flavors. Medium finish. Awesome QPR. — 4 years ago

Gave this a week to come around, it sort of did, but was hopeful for a more engaging experience than we received.

Chinon Cabernet Franc 2014

Might be time to drink up. I feel like the fruit is thinner than a few years ago, and being a pretty light bodied wine, there is just not much else left in the bottle. — 4 months ago

Domaine Fabrice Gasnier

Chinon Vieilles Vignes Cabernet Franc 2017

Needs a couple of days open for the brett-stink to settle down. Afterwards, it’s raspberry, wrapper leaf and an appropriate and savory Cab Franc stemminess. This may be something special in a few years. — 5 years ago
