“Let’s not put a label on it, let’s keep it fun…”
A vin de soif with some serious swag! This 95% Cabernet Franc with a smidgeon of Merlot is thirst quenching af, but not to be underestimated as your average, run-of-the-mill glou. For the 2017 vintage, it was bottled without a label; because it’s what’s on the inside that counts.
- The Despagnes have worked as vignerons in Bordeaux for three centuries, and Maison Blanche is currently helmed by Nicolas who is striving to get their Biodynamic Certification.
- They’re all about keeping things “old school,” over at Maison Blanche, with native fermentations and using very little sulfur.
- The estate is in Saint-Émilion, on the Right Bank and features heavier percentages of Merlot and Cabernet Franc in their wines.
Vibes with:
- Sticking it to “the man.”
- Swimming in your neighbor’s pool while they’re out of town.
- Drinking this wine out of the bottle, à la Ross Test.
