An absolute anomaly for this stellar vintage, the Guinaudeau family chose to bottle this specific cuvée as 100% Cabernet Franc for the very first time in its history. Sourced from limestone soils that impart an intense, chalky energy, the wine leaps from the glass with racy red raspberries, fresh tobacco leaf, allspice, and a striking floral lift of peonies. The mouthfeel is exceptionally clean, lithe, and linear, driving forward with a fascinating sweet and savory umami interplay backed by a heavy hit of marine salinity. It is a vibrant, straight backed, and beautifully unique expression of pure Bouchet that will provide spectacular drinking over the next twenty years.
