Thierry Germain, owner of
the Domaine, with this ball, it makes me change my mind, about the Cabernet
Franc. Maybe I needed it, and it often happens that they are precisely the French
“cousins” to make me feel a bit 'less stupid, since some argues that "only
fools never change their minds."
This Cab-Franc, in
purity, affecting the eyes, nose and palate. A ruby bright, striped with purple, dividing the nasal parterre among splendid fruity sensations and strong
minerality. So, off with wild berries - red currant, strawberry and blueberry -
a juicy cherry, with flowers - violet and broom - and, as mentioned, a really
intense mineral frame.
The mouth is fresh,
accurate and comprehensive. Wealth in greed and poverty in tannins, trigger
sips enthralling, that recall, one by one, the characters mentioned above,
while the minerality is more sharp and stony. Flavor and long finish round out
the goodies of the palate.
Yes Thierry, you
convinced me on Cab-Franc, but you're not stupid, and you're raising the bar,
with the euros, damn.
