Region: Chinon, Loire, France
Varietal: Cabernet Franc
Classification:
Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
Score: 96-98CK
Review: "A cuvée that needs little introduction, from a famed terroir of limestone slopes which rise up above the valley floor. The fermentation was particularly slow says Matthieu [Baudry], so this went into barrel late, and it was still carrying 2.5 g/l residual sugar. As a consequence there was a little refermentation during the summer months of 2020. By the time of my tasting there was still a little carbon dioxide gas in the wine, signifying that. The colour is a gorgeous black violet hue, and the nose is filled with aromatic black and curranty fruits, with hints of liquorice and rose garden. Trying to look past the residual gas on the palate (easier said than done) this feels fresh and vigorous, with a silky composition, and notes of liquorice, toast, currant and white chalk. A brilliant wine. The alcohol is about 14%, says Matthieu. (Oct 2020)"

"The 2019 vintage of La Croix Boissée (limestone) is deep in color, impressing with its density and ability to 'refresh' with the intrinsic power of the wine. Patience: it will deliver itself in the coming decades." 95 La Revue du Vin de France
