Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

A lovely wine with notes of currants, red cherries and plums. Bright, pure fruit, with hints of spice and minerals.

Pairs well with charcuterie, grilled tuna, pork, and rabbit.

Professional Ratings

89 Wine & Spirits
A black wine with tough, gravelly tannins, this is concentrated and woodsy in its flavors. Air does little to ameliorate its powerful tannic grip, though a steak might succeed in softening it.

Brother and sister Dominique Tessier and Annie Houet farm vineyards in AOC Saumur along the banks of the Loire, just south of Saumur outside of the historic village of Le Puy de Notre Dame. Saumur is one of the most progressive appellation areas in France and was the first to call its producers to action in favor of preserving the region’s terroirs. Dominique and Annie are certainly committed and are officially certified in lutte-raisonnee, or sustainable farming practices, by Terra Vitis. In 2004, Annie’s son, Jean-Francois, joined the domaine, continuing a family tradition that has endured for over two hundred years.

Today Cabernet Franc produces outstanding single varietal wines across the wine-producing world. Somm Secret—One of California's best-kept secrets is the Happy Canyon appellation of Santa Barbara. Here Cabernet Franc shines as a single varietal wine or in blends, expressing sumptuous fruit, savory aromas and polished tannins.

Inside the Saumur region, Saumur-Champigny creates some of the Loire’s greatest Cabernet Francs.
