Chinon 'Les Clos', Domaine Serge et Bruno Sourdais 2014
Red Wine from France - Loire
Proper Loire cabernet franc from vines between 60 and 70 years old on a south facing flinty vineyard in the heart of Chinon this, now over ten years old, is a beautiful expression of the Loire's greatest red grape with aromas of graphite, dried cranberries, dried bark and tobacco. The palate has real depth and concentration despite its moderate body, with finely wrought tannins and leafy, herbal character.

Domaine Sourdais
A sixth-generation family-owned estate at Cravant-les-Coteaux, run since 1992 by Bruno Sourdais. There are 55 ha under vine, split between 84 different parcels, with a further 45ha of cereals and meadowland. Bruno believes grassing between the rows makes the wines more 'solid' and uses this method according to the vineyard location and terroir.
In the cellar, small foudres are used for the cuvées, along with some barrels, and there are still some old fiberglass tanks as well as some traditional underground tanks. Two-hectare single vineyard Les Cornuelles is south-facing, on clay/limestone soils with large but lightweight stones, and grassed every other row (because it's harder to work than Les Clos which is all ploughed). Two old and two new foudres are used and blended according to the vintage, as the aim is not to have too much wood in evidence.

Dark crimson. Then freshness and the subtle aromas of a garden in summer. Quite a bit of tannin on the end still! Is there just a bit too much? JancisRobinson.com
