2009 Cabernet Franc Ambassadors tasting

Ripe and beautifully clean Cabernet Franc October 2005

Next Tuesday I’m off to Paris for a couple of days to join the panel of tasters selecting the 2009 Cabernet Franc Ambassadors. Leading the panel will be Sam Harrop MW, the consultant to the project, Joanna Simon (for 22 years the Sunday Times wine correspondent), Emily O’Hara (sommelier) and myself. We will be tasting Loire Cab Francs from 2007 and 2008. Reports on Jim's Loire next week during the tasting.
