Francis Desbourdes, L'Arpenty, Chinon, Loire, France, 2018

A consistently popular Cabernet Franc that Yapp Bros has imported for more than 40 years – and you can see why! Perfect lightly chilled, it's the epitome of a serious summer red, full of crushed bramble and lighter redcurrant fruits, dusty fruit tannins and refreshing saline acidity. Pure, mineral and vibrant.
