2020 Domaine des Closiers 'Les Closiers' Cabernet Franc

You can’t overstate the rapturous reception in France for Domaine des Closiers. Michel Bettane, the most important wine critic in France, essentially called them the second coming of Clos Rougeard (i.e., the sexiest & hardest-to-get Cab Franc in the world). It makes sense: Rougeard's Nady Foucault is aiding winemaker Anatole de la Brosse here. The Closiers bottling is their entry point, and it's 100% Cabernet Franc fermented and aged in tank. Bursting with energy, it's got bright, tart, lively red fruit atop a black mineral core. This is a classic, sexy, late-night bistro wine: so get yr poulet roasting and yr decanter a'swirling!
