Tasting Notes: Les Bois Guyon is Francois' Cabernet Franc from 80 year old vines grown in limestone. The handpicked grapes are de-stemmed, macerated on skins for 10 days then pressed into 400 litres barrels where it ages for 2 and a half years before bottling. An enchanting and ethereal wine with lifted, floral aromatics and savoury game, wood and mineral notes on the palate.

Tasting Notes: After pressing, the grape skins were left to macerate with the juice for 7 days.  From there, 70% of the resulting wine was aged in large oak barrels, while the other 30% was aged in fiberglass vats.  Neither sulfites nor additives were used at any stage of the winemaking process.  This wine gives us notes of apricots, white flowers, and even melon, and has a pleasant amount of tannin on the finish.

This includes the recently (2015) planted hybrid, disease resistant varieties such as Muscaris, Souvignier Gris, Bronner and a Swiss clone of Cabernet. Catsilver refers to the shining silica stones that are found throughout their vineyards. All the white grapes undergo a maceration on the skins and the red grapes are directly pressed, before all being aged in used oak barrels for eight months.
