Great essay, Allison. Thanks!! (Now how can I get a box??)

They actually don’t sell through the typical system of negociants/wine merchants, so I believe you can buy on site at the domaine. But I will confirm. I think while you’re in France the Grand Vin has good distribution through online cavistes. Thanks for reading, Rick! 😊

Going to Bordeaux and St. Emilion next month. Don’t often think of Cab franc there but it is there. Seem to be more cab Sauv and Merlot focused.

Hi Axel - thank you for reading. Indeed, Bordeaux is dominated by Merlot on the right bank and Cab Sauv on the left, but there are some Cabernet Franc “specialists” here and there, and more and more single varietal examples being made across the region. Have a great trip! September is a beautiful time to visit.
