What you will taste
For generations the Foucault family made wine in cold cellars carved in tuffeau stone, changing nothing and chasing no fashion. The result became a legend: Cabernet Franc with the silk of great Burgundy, raspberry and violet over a quiet earthy depth, and a freshness that makes every glass ask for another. Bottles are scarce and always will be; drinking one is joining a rather small club.
The sommelier’s note
«Serve at 16 degrees with half an hour of air. Do not rush it and do not overpower it with heavy food: this wine rewards gentleness.»
