Juicy black cherries and dried herbs on the nose. On the palate there are black cherries, toast, smoke, peppers flavors. Quite tannic. Will reassess after the second glass...

Whiff of barnyard after pulling the cork. Blew off after an hour in the decanter. Black cherry, leafy herbal notes on the nose and palate. Medium bodied and good acidity. Served with prime rib.

The first of the two young Francs. Poyeux is rounder. Nose is proper. Young prime. This is a two hour sniffer.

With dinner. Least cab franc of anything we tasted in the Loire. Vineyard shared with Clos Rougeard. Aged in old Bordeaux barrels. To me, it lacked the acid and fruit of fresher wine from Domaine de la Chevalerie and Chateau Fosse Seche.
