Grape Variety

Cabernet Franc

Producer

Maison Foucher Lebrun

Redcurrant and black cherry aromas are complemented by a hint of coconut. The palate is supple with fresh, ripe black fruits and sour blackberry. Grapes were harvested by hand and fermented in tank to retain freshness. Côt is the same grape as the more widely known Malbec associated with Argentina. The variety, which originated in southwest France, was widely planted in Bordeaux in the 18th and 19th centuries but very little exists today. A small amount is cultivated in the Loire, where it ripens earlier than Cabernet Franc.
