A 100% Cabernet Franc red wine from the IGP Cité de Carcassonne in Pays d'Oc, southern France. Produced by Pierre from a downtown cellar in Carcassonne, it is made with destemmed grapes picked early in the morning, traditional vinification in concrete vats, 12 to 15 days of maceration with punching down, fermentation at 25–28°C, and eight months of ageing in concrete vats. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered. Serve at around 16–18°C.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Juicy blackcurrant and dark cherry, dried garden herbs, sweet tobacco, subtle cedar and a faint earthy, mushroom-like undertone.

Palate

Ripe plum and blackcurrant, chewy textures reminiscent of liquorice and juniper, well-integrated tannins, firm acidity, dark chocolate and a green, leafy herbal edge.

Finish

Medium to long, with tar, cedar and dried herbs; tannins remain present but polished.
