2009 Domaine le Petit Bon Dieu

This is a phenomenal, elegant and authentic Cabernet Franc from Loire Valley.  This varietal speaks to the history that is the Loire.  Chateaus cover the countryside, each one trying to standout from its neighbors; while at the same time be elegant beyond belief.  This varietal does exactly that!   Rich and true in character while simultaneously being subtle and elegant.  The bouquet suggests roses and lilacs accompanied by dark fruits (cherry and blackcurrants) along with mild spices.  All of this is heaven across the palate…very smooth and delicate reminiscent of a simpler time.  Out of this world enjoyable!  I can’t wait to have another glass!
