Wine Reviews

Scents of brioche, raspberry, vanilla-poached fig, and a wealth of florals including rose and violet shimmer across this 100% Cabernet Franc. Juicy yet silky, the palate is in line with the nose while adding touches of peach, pomegranate, and peppery fennel to the mix

This is attractive with sliced pears, peach skins, dried flowers and pomegranate peel. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a spicy, lightly phenolic mid-palate. Firm and tangy bubbles and a flavorful, peachy finish.

There’s a decidedly savory side to this 100% Cab Franc. Pale rose-gold in the glass, it displays herbal, mineral, and woody tones even as it smacks of bouncy red fruit—strawberry, cherry, raspberry—underscored by upfront acidity yet softened by a hint by breadiness.

The pale pink colored NV Bouvet Trésor Brut Rosé is a highly delicate, round, remarkably intense and complex barrel-aged Cabernet Franc sparkling wine with red fruit aromas (raspberry, candied cherries) intertwined with lemon, fine nougat, fresh oak and brioche notes in the chalky background of the Saumur terroirs. Mouth-filling, intense, dense and round on the palate, again with a hint of fresh oak, this is a complex, elegant, seriously and sustainably structured Rosé sparkling wine of impressive class.
