Drinking this wine which is a Cabernet Franc is part of our continuing education in our quest to understand what cool climate Cabernet Franc can taste like.
The nose on this wine was of black fruit like dark plum, bosenberry, and dark cherries.
The wine itself was clear and sparkling like the garnet gem in liquid form. The wine was medium bodied with delicious fruit flavors with a balanced acidity and just a hint of tannins. We really liked this wine.
We learned from the Domaine Mélaric Site that wife and husband, Melanie Hunin and Aymeric Hillaire are the winemakers. They make wines from Chenin, Cabernet Franc and Grolleau grapes that come from four plots on the slope of Clos de Cerisae looking towards the village of Puy-Notre-Dame.
My husband was able to purchase this wine for around $26.00. We will definitely be buying more of this wine.
