Le Rocher des Violettes Cabernet Franc, Touraine AOC, Loire Valley, France 2020

Le Rocher des Violettes translates to "The Rock of Violets"—and one swirl of the glass confirms why. Born from a love affair with Cabernet Franc along the river Vienne in Chinon, this wine is a 55-year-old vine expression of the Loire Valley. It is a lighter-bodied, more peppery alternative to its Bordeaux cousins, crafted with natural yeast and zero new oak to allow its floral perfume to shine through. "Stunning perfume of violets, tobacco, and spice leads into a palate of red raspberries, cherries, and fresh herbs with a signature hint of green pepper. Vibrant and authentic. Pair with roasted poultry, herbaceous goat cheese, or classic steak frites." — Harvest Wine Shop Blend: 100% Cabernet Franc Region: Touraine, Loire Valley (90% Chinon border, 10% Montlouis) Volume: 750ml Alcohol: 12.8% ABV Farming Practice: 55yr Old Vines; Certified Organic; Natural Yeast; Unfined & Unfiltered Serving Suggestion: Serve at cellar temp or with a light chill.
