Cuvée Terroir Chinon Cabernet Franc

Like this wine but doesn’t have the power that some of his other wines have pencil lead iron cherry fruit - liked it from an aromatic standpoint more than flavor and finish — 7 years ago

Les Granges Chinon Cabernet Franc

This is an excellent modern-day entry level Cabernet Franc. Dazzlingly simple, yet awash with refreshing weight, dark fruit, Chinese spices, and a subtle dollop of black/green tea. If you are looking for something less obvious go back to red Burgundy. (This red straddles old world structure with new world gloss. I fear gloss will eventually win out. But for now...👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾) — 6 years ago

Chinon Cabernet Franc Rosé 2014

Yum! I love the rose season. This is a clean, crisp rose... I would drink it anytime from April thru September. It reminds us of our trip thru the Loire Valley. — 9 years ago

Classic, rustic cab franc. The slightly warm vintage shows here by pushing the vegetal flavors behind lots of red and black fruit. Needs food. — 10 years ago

A really nice expression of Chinon.

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. — 6 years ago
