Château de Francs Les Cerisiers 2020

Aromas of blackcurrants, chocolate nibs and sweet spices with an earthy character to it. Medium-bodied with firm, lightly dusty tannins and a juicy red and blue berry character. Refreshing and solid in the finish. Drink or hold.

Slate texture is clear straight from the go on Les Cerisiers this year, plenty of raspberry, redcurrant fruits, clear austerity but will soften over ageing, and there is great value to be had. Tension but also structure and punch. Drinking Window 2022-2028.

A charming, medium-bodied effort, the 2020 Château De Francs Les Cerisiers gives up lots of ripe red cherry and redcurrant fruits as well as notes of sandalwood, spice, and dried flowers. It’s balanced and has outstanding length as well as plenty of potential.

Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 Les Cerisiers comes skipping out of the glass with cheery notes of kirsch, raspberry coulis and plum preserves and plush hints of cinnamon toast and mossy tree bark. The medium to full-bodied palate is laden with bright, crunchy red and black fruits, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and bold freshness, finishing perfumed.
