http://www.vintage59.com/portfolio/fran ... richou.phpAnjou Rouge “4 Chemins”: Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is full of fresh rich fruit and makes a terrific bistro wine. It is made in tank primarily from younger vine Cabernet Franc with a dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon. These varieties grow in Aubance schists in two parcels totaling 2.8 hectares, or nearly 7 acres. Ideal yield is around 40 h/ha and rough annual production is 1,250 cases.
2011 vintage. This wine is very, very French and very, very fresh and delicious. A little funky. A little earthy. Plum skin. A touch of bell pepper? Very high toned in character. We finished the bottle last night!

Interesting! Vintage 59 used to be the Michel Schlumberger import arm!
