Description

Cabernet Franc is the red grape of the great Loire wines such as Bourgueil and Chinon. These wines almost seem specially made for the Parisian brasseries and bistros where most of the production is consumed, often slightly chilled. The grape is related (and probably also the ancestor) of the much better known Cabernet Sauvignon and produces a lighter, more supple red wine with less drying tannin.

Provided it is harvested ripe, of course, because otherwise Cabernet Franc is rough and sour. This one, from Pierre Morgeau, is of exemplary quality with its accessible, fresh-smooth taste and beautiful fruit expression. Without wood maturation, because according to Pierre that does not suit the ideal way of serving. Young, slightly cool and preferably with a typical bistro meal such as pâté with baguette, meal salads or white meat.
