Petit Clos is a specially designated vineyard. “La Philosophie du bel ouvrage” roughly translates to the philosophy of fine craftsmanship. It’s something you can contemplate as you enjoy a glass of this French red.
In the glass this 100% Cab Franc is deep purple with earthy aromas. The wine opens with a bit of tannins, but then smoothes out with a medium to light body.
Wife and tasting partner Green Dragon can be turned off by the green pepper in some Cabernet Francs – there’s none to be found in this Loire Valley gem. Flavor notes include concentrated raspberry and flashes of clove spice. The finish is like a refreshing summer breeze.
I picked up this bottle online from Invino at $14.99. That’s another reason to love wines from Loire Valley. They are value priced, high in quality and don’t require cellaring for 10 years.
Buy into the “philosophie” of Musset-Roullier for a subtle and tasteful French experience.
