Tasting Notes
With little new oak and large size barrels the Cabernet's aromas and flavours are not over powered by oaky flavours. This is a great wine to discover the typicity of the cabernet Sauvignon. The grape is originally from Bordeaux but funny enough there are no 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wines produced in Bordeaux. If you ever do a blind tasting of Bordeaux wines from the left bank, be game to include this Anjou Villages and you will be surprised! You might pick up the difference in soils, as the wine has a stony minerality from the schists on the nose. The wine needs two to three years cellaring when released to enable the tannins to smooth out a little, it will age over 15 years in exceptional vintages developing Bordeaux style characteristics. - Importer Note
