and 3% Cabernet Franc -- in the blend

While there is tons of pure

this single-vineyard wine emerges from 80-year-old vines on limestone that survived the devastating frost of 1956

In contrast to the phenolic noses of the prior two MâconPierreclos wines

tannic and on the masculine side fo the style range

Les Champs Libres other_regions_australia and 3% Cabernet Franc --The 2018 Les Champs Libres is more backward than the 2017, deprived the same delineation and mineralit by that summer's warmth. The palate is better with welcome flintiness on the entry, more energy and generosity coming through. A peppery touch on the close ensures this finishes on a high. Tasted from ex chteau magnum at Kate & Kon's 40 Year vertical in Austria.
