Cabernet Franc | Sébastien Bobinet and Eméline Calvez helped to raise the natural wine movement in the Loire Valley and remain a benchmark for the region, especially when it comes to ever-classic Cab Franc. Amateus Bobi is their “historic” cuvée and Sébastien’s first – a wise, muscular & age-worthy single-estate cuvée that’s moody, intellectual & even a little bit mean! But in a cool way, like a snappy professor who just doesn’t have time for your shenanigans. Aged for a year in barrel, this is the more robust and mineral-rich side of Cab Franc, a study in the difference between strength and power – dried sage, blueberry trail mix, hot chocolate powder & soy-soaked enoki mushroom. Pairs perfectly with: scratchy tartan flannel, Rear Window & splurging on a full set of vintage leather-bound encyclopedias because you saw Amy Schneider on Jeopardy and see a bright future for yourself in trivia.

Cabernet Franc | Les Landes is the lovable curmudgeon of the Bobinet line-up of Cab Francs, a rustic & earthy red that’s a bit grumpy but will surprise you with its warmth and generosity. Hailing from a 55 year old vineyard with extremely low-yielding vines, depth & concentration is top of mind for this earthy and rugged red, inspired by old-school Cab Francs of the past. Aged in new and old oak barriques for 18 months, illustrious flavours are on full-display – smoked cherry, cigar box, vintage leather chair, flowering tobacco leaf, cedar chest & a giant, old-school library stuffed with dusty, leather-bound books. The texture is incredibly buttery for a red, like a dramatic swoop of plum butter on a perfect white plate, followed by rustic, earthy tannins with a touch of smoke. Take this and a friend to the park on a hot summer night and let the wine light the way.

Cabernet Franc | If only the real Greta Garbo had lived long enough to see & appreciate this stunning, vivacious red from Sébastien and Eméline of Domaine Bobinet. Just like Garbo, Carbo is a legend, an infamous cult wine with an unattainable elegance that unites wine snobs & everyday drinkers alike. Carbo is, of course, a nod to carbonic maceration, the mode of vinification used to give this single-parcel Cab Franc its dazzlingly bright & luscious red fruit flavours, like a hyper-pigmented Cab Franc with the volume turned to a hair-raising 10. Hazy sandalwood incense meets a silky, glossy texture with whimsical depth from 60 year old vines and eight months in old oak. Vegetal, fruity and peppery all at once, this is captivating & spellbinding, rich & refined, an engrossing experience to share only with those who Get It. Cab Franc’s signature greenness shows up to the party, followed by a dash of black pepper, cherry lollipop, strawberry Twizzler, forest, filth & squishy mud between your toes. Pairs perfectly with black velvet, water signs & sapphires thrown into the ocean. Drink on the night of the full moon.
