Call me crazy, but I like my francs a bit ripper. This one is so austere on the finish... Classic flavors though. Green pepper, pencil lead, graphite

Blackberries, raspberries, red plums w bramble, white berries, floral touches and bit of forest floor and a bit of funk. Had pleasant fruit but I wanted a little more acidity. I think it would have benefitted from food.

Really liking this. First time I opened it, tasted & smelled alive! Violets, smoke, black licorice. Black lava rocks. Clean & pure Saumur rouge.

Beautiful. Yves and Arnaud Lambert (Domaine de Saint Just) took over Chateau de Brézé and favor organic methods. Green peppers, lead pencil, graphite.
