Clos Saint Fiacre, Orleans Clery Rouge, Loire Valley, France 2016
{sustainable} 100% Cabernet Franc

BRIGHT BLACK FRUIT, SILKY TANNINS, SOFT SPICE
Cabernet Franc is king when it comes to Loire Valley reds. The relatively new Orléans-Clery appellation looks to build on that tradition, even if it’s well northeast of the other Cabernet Franc dominated regions. The secret to achieving proper ripeness this far north is sandy soil, which traps heat and provides drainage in the cold, wet Upper Loire. Bénédicte Montigny-Piel and her husband Hubert Piel deliver us a cuvée full of fresh plums and raspberries, a smattering of black pepper on the palate, with a silky smooth long finish.
Serving Suggestions: A versatile pick! Braised venison w/ rich, mushroom sauce. With a slight chill, would be lovely alongside simple grilled vegetables & mushrooms tossed in EVOO/herb mix.
