Chateau Carbonneau 'La Franc Touch' 2022

The 2022 "La Franc Touch" is an absolute firework of a wine that leaps out of the glass with a vibrant, perfumed nose of crushed red berries, wild strawberries, and elegant violets. Just as you’re settling into that floral bouquet, a refreshing streak of cool mint sweeps in, adding a sophisticated, breezy lift that makes every sniff more exciting than the last.

On the palate, this wine is all about that "clay-limestone" magic; offering a spectacular tug-of-war between succulent, sun-ripened fruit and a zesty, mouth-watering acidity. It feels wonderfully round and plush, yet it remains incredibly lithe and graceful. The finish is long and poised, balancing a subtle, velvety sweetness with a clean, snappy freshness that practically begs for another sip. It’s a joyful, expressive tribute to the grape that is as lively as it is polished!
