Owner's words
 
The nose is fresh, pure, and mineral, offering a beautiful depth of fruit. On the palate, the power and density of the vintage are well mastered, balanced by the energy and freshness characteristic Franc Mayne‘s  terroir. The tannins are finely chiseled. Fresh fruit and violet are lingering, evolving into notes of cocoa and a touch of menthol.
