Importer notes from Bowler Wine:

"The estate has terrific plots of land in the Savigny-en-Véron district, right by the Vienne riverbanks. The "Les Picasses" vineyard stands out from the rest: old vines of 50-ish years on a fairly steep slope from the riverbank that is alluvial clay with a chalk limestone base. The fruit is particularly expressive of cassis and dark cherries with a terrific mineral content and good acidity for structure."

Flor Impressions:

This cuvee makes use of partial carbonic maceration, which gives it a pleasant aromatic lift, while not losing its Cab Franc-y soul. Classic Chinon flavors of red pepper and earth abound, while its light, soft tannic structure and pleasant red berry fruit flavors make this imminently quaffable.
