Cabernet Franc

Nuits d’Ivresse — “drunken nights” — is one of our all-time favorite back-the-truck-up wines. It has that sing-song quality only possessed by high-toned Cabernet Franc and aromas of crushed red raspberry and underripe cherry. A party in a bottle — if you’re like us, you won’t be able to keep your hands off it.

Nuits d’Ivresse or “Drunken Nights” is an homage to the work of Jules Chauvet, using absolutely no sulfur whatsoever. This cuvee is made from 50 year old vines, then aged in oak for a year - resulting in a deep smoked Cabernet Franc with notes of charred green bell pepper and earthy clay.
