Lot of funk initially but on day two this really turned into a stunning wine. Give it some air and be open minded if there’s Brett at first because this is special stuff

Apr 14th, 2026First bottle of this was off but this one made up for it. Juicy blackberry, dried herbs, peppercorn, tomato leaf, soil tones, fine grained tannins. No trace of brett. Brilliant cab franc, completely ready

Earthy/bretty for sure, but if you don't mind a little horsiness, this is really nice on the palate. Nice dark fruit and soft tannins.

Насыщенный кабфран с берегов Луары. Помимо ягод внезапно яркие тон кожуры запеченной в углях картошки.

From the Domaine itself to my table. All I can think is "purple." Purple flowers, purple herbs, purple fruit. Guess that makes this wine royaley delicious.

The perfect steak frites wine--I love this stuff. This is one of the bottles we picked up at the domaine last June.
