Fresh herbs, ripe red berries, dark fruit, graphite, and sweet tobacco build a complex aromatic profile. The palate is juicy and concentrated, with fine-grained tannins, elegant spice, and a long, streamlined finish.

Serve this expressive Cabernet Franc with grilled meats, roast poultry, or herb-crusted lamb. Rich sauces and savory braises draw out its dark fruit and polished spice.

Professional Reviews

94 James Suckling

"This cabernet franc is fruity, with aromas of fresh herbs and ripe red berries. I like the mid-palate tension and fluidity, with fine spices and elegant fruit. Juicy and textured, with cohesive tannins and a long, streamlined finish. 95% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon. Really delicious now, but can hold."

92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2023 Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Franc offers the most complex bouquet of this range, fusing fresh herbal aromas with a deftly ripe core of dark fruits, graphite and sweet tobacco. The mouthfeel follows with a dense, lavish texture and a sturdy, layered and lingering finish supported by the polished, fine-grained tannin structure that defines the house style. This contains 5% Cabernet Sauvignon."

90 Vinous

"The 2023 Cabernet Franc Cuvée Alexandre includes 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and was aged for up to 14 months in oak. It opens with ripe fruit, a hint of currant and a subtle note of ash. This is austere on the palate. It's centered on finely grippy tannins and a plush barrel texture that adds but doesn’t overwhelm. The finish is long and defined by the character of the vintage."
