Use fresh flower stems for napkin rings at your next summer party. Simply fold the stem around the napkin, then knot it, and snip off the excess length.
This Cabernet Franc is really singing; crisp, strawberry fruit, leafy bramble notes, a touch of minerality. A lovely, light and `crunchy` red that only the Loire Valley really does well.

Producer: Whilst many people associate the Loire valley exclusively with white wine (Sancerre, Pouilly Fumé etc.), much of the Touraine region on the banks of this river are planted to red varieties such as Cabernet Franc and Gamay. Amongst the best of these wines come from Chinon and this well established domaine in the heart of the appellation has been given a new lease of life by the younger generation. Jacques, Bertrand and Arnaud Couly have recently closed down the negociant side of the business (thank goodness!) to concentrate on making wines exclusively from their own grapes and the change has been immediate, dramatic and impressive.
