Cabernet Franc Magnum
Loire Valley, France
An audacious and soulful Cab Franc for the ages! The late Anne-Claude Leflaive was a legend in Puligny-Montrachet, on a quest to support young, biodynamic winemakers across France until she came across this abandoned winery in Anjou, full of old vines with untapped potential. Along with her husband, Christian Jacques, she purchased the estate and hired Sylvain Potin as head winemaker, entrusting him to bring her vision of vibrant, biodynamic reds to life. From 45-year-old vines, the destemmed grapes were fermented for a month, aged in a combination of used Burgundy casks, steel vat and new oak for 18 months, and bottled without fining or filtration. Chiselled & heady, piquant in profile and personality and fruited like a backpack of smushed cherries and blueberries. Black leather glove holding banana pepper greenness, dirty cobblestone, savoury-smoky-spicy tannins & the smell of grinding a pencil with those old-school wall sharpeners.
