92 Points Wine Enthusiast:
"This blends 53% Merlot and 47% Cabernet Franc into a tidy, classically stylized package of bay leaf, red currant, red cherry and black pepper. Structured and true to each variety, it features powerfully focused tannins that support without distraction."
Longing for new challenges, Claire and Gonzague embarked on a common adventure in 2012, far from their lands of the Médoc and their Classified Growths, creating their own vineyard as well as wines in their unique style. They wanted to embrace the freedom to cross the Atlantic Ocean and to write a new chapter in their story together.
They settled on a ten-hectare vineyard nestled in the heart of Sonoma, in Chalk Hill, located at the intersection of the greatest Californian appellations: Russian River, Knight’s Valley and Alexander Valley.
