2001 Dom. Des Roches Neuves Samur Champigny Cab Franc

Tasted at the November 2003 DC Crü gathering

This was a decidedly good food wine that was pretty well balanced and interesting, though not extremely complex. These TN comments are both jaimetown’s and mine as he was the only one’s who’s comments I got. Moss, twigs, Korean soy paste, cigarette ash all interlaced with some great fruit and acidity and a quite decent finish. Worth 89 TJ points.

(Jaimetown’s TNs)-- A very enjoyable Cab Franc from the Loire Valley. Balanced, with floral notes, a great food wine. For $12, very nice.
