Clos De L'echo

2005 Appellation Chinon Controlee Cabernet Franc

Clos De L'Echo is a stunning example of Cabernet Franc from the prestigious Appellation Chinon Contrôlée, showcasing the unique terroir of the Loire Valley. This red wine presents a deep garnet color, hinting at its age and complexity. The body is medium-full, offering a rich and velvety mouthfeel that envelops the palate. Its acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing backbone that balances the wine's inherent fruitiness. Aromas of ripe blackcurrants and red cherries intertwine with herbal notes and subtle hints of cedar, creating an enticing bouquet. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, contributing to the wine's structure while allowing for a seamless finish. With its delightful fruit intensity and a dry profile, Clos De L'Echo beautifully represents the elegance and finesse that Cabernet Franc can achieve in this renowned region.
