Estimate
Extremely perfumed with lavender, blue flowers and blackcurrants. Stones, too. Medium-to full-bodied with a beautiful palate that builds up. Lovely finesse and length. Super refined and soulful.
This celebrates the coming together of 52% Cabernet Franc and 48% Cabernet Sauvignon—a delightfully herbaceous, classically structured and deeply elegant experience on the palate that offers balanced power and grace...
...scented of chocolate-covered cherries, fresh blackcurrants, kirsch and black raspberries with touches of bouquet garni, forest floor, charcoal and black olive. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is filled with ripe red and black fruits and a firm, rugged texture, possessing just enough freshness to deliver a long, earth-laced finish.
Focused, with a strong tobacco leaf edge framing a core of lightly steeped red and black currant fruit. The streamlined finish reveals a light savory echo. Sneakily long.
Cabernet Franc, with its bright, high-toned aromatics, takes the lead in the 2017 LMV Salon. Sweet dried red cherry, mint, tobacco and wild flowers are all nicely lifted throughout. Supple and racy with tons of immediacy, the 2017 is already inviting, although it will develop more nuance with time in bottle. Even just a bit of air brings out an attractive fleshiness.
