Country: France / Clos d’Isoré
Variety: Cabernet Franc Loire Valley
Winery: Jean-Maurice Raffault / Chinon
A seven-acre vineyard surrounding an ancient castle, with vines planted in 1938. They give a densely concentrated and powerful wine, with wood and sweet, fleshy red fruits allied to delicious acidity. The whole structure promises long-term aging—give it five years or more.
