Domaine de L’Ecu Mephisto Cabernet Franc Chatto and wet‑slate minerality adds bothBright red cherry, raspberry and subtle cranberry lead with a lifted, pure LoireCabernet Franc profile. Fine florals, gentle spice and a graphitelike mineral edge sit underneath, giving quiet depth and a sleek, savoury feel. The palate is fresh, linear and beautifully balanced red fruit, earth, pepper and firm, elegant tannin carrying a long, precise, dry finish. A focused, refined expression of Mephisto. ( BOX OF 6 )
