Le Cabernet Franc du Frandat
AOP Buzet
Presentation
• The vintage
After a dry and warm spring, summer 2017 was sullen, without much heat, then late August and whole September were wet and fresh, which caused rapid harvest, with wines of a nice balance and without too much concentration.
• Location
Our vines are situated on a wide plateau, on the heights of Nérac, Gascony.
• Terroir
Clay and limestone soils
• Ageing
This vintage was aged 8 months for two thirds in ovoid tanks and for a third in new 500 litres barrels. This special ageing sublimates the fruit and the spicy side, the very discreet oaky taste bringing complexity.
• Grape variety
Cabernet franc : 100 %
