Touraine. Labeled "Cabernet Franc" on the front label. Vintages 59 is importer.

Very appropriately named wine! All about floral violets. Good cabernet franc character without obtrusive green notes. Appealing texture and mouthfeel. All about the anise and black cherry and earth. Believe it or not, went very well with pork loin!
