JL DENOIS CABERNET FRANC

Aromatic with violet, blackberry, raspberry… a charming wine, supple, elegant. A cuvée for fun, for grills in the sun

The Aude has this perfect mesoclimate where the fall lingers softly and without much rain, allowing for long hang times while the grapes go on developing ever more phenolic complexity while the cool nights keep the acidity from dropping off. Not only is this ideal for sparkling wine, but in the warmer plots this effect has been tremendous on the Southwest Bordeaux varieties of France. This Cabernet Franc leans toward delicacy with gentle tannins and expressive red currant fruit aromas supported by cool climate notes of bell pepper and brambles. With decanting the red turns to black currant and a hint of mint emerges, growing denser. Pairs well with sautéed veal with morels, basquaise chicken, stuffed calamari, and porcini mushroom omelettes.
