As a complex and concentrated single-vineyard wine from the 2018 vintage, aeration allows it to open up spectacularly.

Thanks to the masterful combination of chalky tannins and the vibrant natural acidity of cool-climate Cabernet Franc, this wine will develop splendidly over the next 10 to 15 years if stored horizontally, in a cool place, and protected from light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;\"\u003eHow do the white chalky limestone soils influence the profile of this wine?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limestone soils of Cravant-les-Côteaux impart a unique verticality, electric acidity, and a very fine tannin profile with a chalky texture on the finish to the wine.
