The 2019 Clos du Chêne Vert Monopole is a linear, upright, sit up straight in class type of Cabernet Franc. While reductive at this stage, there's plenty of concentration and sinew here. Expect florals, black cherry and a linear, athletic finish. Needs time for its linearity to ease and its flower to blossom. Long length.

Region Notes

The Domaine has been working organically for several years and especially focusing on developing the biodiversity : hedges and trees plantations, a good fertilization management, development of the flora and the fauna in the vines… The vineyards reflect the rich diversity of the terroirs, from the gravelly terrace offering light and perfumed wines to the clay- calcareous slopes offering long keeping wines. Each plot produces small yields.
