La Pépiè Cabernet Franc 2014
Pays Nantais, Loire, FranceCrunchy, juicy and joyful, this is a quaffable cabernet franc from one of Pays Nantais' top Muscadet producers. With granitic slope sourced grapes, this spends five months in stainless steel. Youthful raspberry, cool cherry is seasoned with white pepper, young cedar whiffs and herbal scrub which textures the palate. Tannins have a supple, sappy tug, but otherwise remain in the background. This is all about juicy, quaffable, delish, light-bodied, morish franc to drink now.Tasted: 21 March 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $23.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
