Great post, Allison! I look forward to reading more about CF in Bordeaux. A friend, David Stannard of Paradise Rescued Winery, is located in the little town of Cardan in Bordeaux. He is a Brit living half the year in Melbourne and half in Cardan. He makes only 100% Cab Franc, and the wines are delicious!
Thank you, Steven! David and I are well acquainted, and I visited his little piece of heaven in Cardan when I was in Bordeaux last June. Very excited about his story and project. He’s a terrific ambassador for Cabernet Franc!
Its really exciting to see more and more interest in Cab Franc coming from Bordeaux! Although I'm still not convinced by the claims of some who say CF is there priority and yet the wines are rarely, if ever, CF dominant... My standout wines are a 1998 Le Dôme and 2017 Les Carmes Haut-Brion
I am on exactly the same journey…rediscovering Bordeaux houses that have a large portion of Cab Franc. I am super excited to see you tackle this. Yahoo.
