Vintage history
A fine yet somewhat atypical vintage, due to capricious weather. The high proportion of Cabernet Franc gives the wine an elegant character. Initially a little tight in its youth, it has blossomed magnificently with time, revealing fine tannins and a complex bouquet with subtle aromas of red fruits.
Like most of our wines, it benefits greatly from aeration. This necessity stems from our deliberate choice not to plough our soils, in order to preserve the balance of the subsoil. So we compensate by letting the wine air out.

Château Franc-Cardinal wines are available in many places around the world.
