Proprietor Hubert de Böuard reminded me that there is less Cabernet Franc in the blend (30%) due to the frost

Great finish

highly perfumed on the nose with ripe peach and apricot on the palate balanced by silky acidity

The change of generation

on Etna's northern slopes

G.D. Vajra Claré J.C. 2024 domaine-olivier-merlin Proprietor Hubert de Böuard remindedTasting Notes: The G. D. Vajra Langhe Nebbiolo JC Clare is a piece of Piemontese history in a bottle. Crafted from younger Nebbiolo vines with an eye on the past, this red opens with a slight spritz that blows off with some time in the glass. Candied cherry, wild strawberries, orange blossoms, and a touch of spice on the finish make this the perfect candidate for a slight chill, to be enjoyed on hot days with grilled foods, even fish.
