A silky Cabernet Franc showing rich aromas of raspberry, blackberry and hints of graphite, through to a supple and generous palate with a refreshing dryness on the finish.

Since 2009, the domain has been run by Pascale Lavigne and her husband, Antoine Véron (daughter and son-in-law) of Gilbert Lavigne.
