Wine Spectator, 90 Points
"A bright, juicy red, with violet and white pepper meshed with fresh cherry edged in graphite. The medium-length finish is lined with dusty earth, dried herbs and fine-grained tannins. Elegant and well-defined. Drink now through 2028. 2,500 cases made, 500 cases imported."
Winemaker Notes:
"The Les Galuches vineyard is an ancient river bed of the Loire; the name being derived from the large presence of gravel. According to the records from the era, vines were already well established in this sector by the 1830s. The Cabernet Franc ripens very well in the domaine’s 10 hectare holding of this sand and gravel vineyard. Les Galuches is always among the first sites to be picked because the soil warms up quickly and drains very well. The wine rests for 6 months in 500 litre double-barriques. Always very aromatic, the Les Galuches bottling is noted for its bouquet of violets, followed by lush and supple dark berry/cherry fruit."
