Domaine de La Chanteleuserie, "Cuvee Alouettes" (100% Cab Franc), Bourgueil, France

Medium to deep purple color. Youthful aromas of crushed dark berries, cherry, cassis, and sage. Dense core of freshly crushed dark berries, youthful texture but ripe tannin with a fresh backbone, slight herbaceous spiciness with sage and tobacco notes and quite good length.
