LES COQ IGP OC CABERNET FRANC

The Cabernet Franc from Occitanie, harvested at peak ripeness from clay-limestone hillsides, exemplifies meticulous selection and traditional winemaking. Low yields and extended vinification under precise temperature control result in a wine with a dark hue and black highlights. The complex nose reveals candied red berries, blackberries, and spices, leading to a generous, aromatic palate with silky tannins well-integrated with the fruit. This wine showcases the full expression of the Cabernet Franc grape variety.
