Tasting Note

L’Huisserie’ is a refined and structured expression of Cabernet Franc from one of Chinon’s most respected producers. Deep garnet in colour, the wine opens with an intense bouquet of black cherry, cassis, graphite, and dried herbs, laced with violet, pencil shavings, and a whisper of smoky cedar. On the palate, it is firm yet polished, with fine-grained tannins and a mouth-watering backbone of acidity. Flavours of ripe blackberry, dark plum, and crushed stones are layered with hints of tobacco leaf, cocoa nib, and black pepper. The finish is long, savoury, and earthy, showcasing both elegance and depth. A powerful but poised Cabernet Franc, built to age gracefully.
