A tiny sub-appellation in the Loire Valley is making outstanding Cabernet Franc

Domaine de la Paleine 2019 Saumur Puy-Notre-Dame

Franc from Saumur Puy-Notre-Dame is special stuff;

this was the first I ever tired, and it is memorable :

Domaine Saint Landor 2019 L'Oblige

Cabernet Franc 100% - Fruit forward with lots of red berries: strawberry, raspberry, and hints of mocha - silky mouthfeel with an elegant finish.
