Item # 14489 750mL

The Grande Vignolle vineyard sits on a chalky plateau above a cliff of tuffeau. The vines range in age from 40 to 50 years old. Bottled unfiltered and aged without the use of any oak. The aged of the vines gives a striking concentration to this wine which is made entirely from Cabernet Franc. More complex and structured on the palate and surely a wine to age.
