Pascal & Alain Lorieux 2005 Agnès Sorel Cabernet Franc (Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil)
Agnès Sorel, the 15th-century mistress of King Charles VII of France, is believed to have been born in Touraine on the Loire. This wine, named after her, is fresh and crisp, with red berry fruits and acidity. It’s a wine that is ready to drink, although the layers of wood and delicate tannins suggest it could lie down for another year.

Pascal & Alain Lorieux 2005 Expression Cabernet Franc (Chinon)
Dense, but relatively soft tannins are balanced by fresh black fruits. This promises some good development, as well—give it at least two years.

Pascal & Alain Lorieux 2005 Les Maugerets Cabernet Franc (Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil)
Classic, fresh and crisp, with that typical Cabernet Franc smoky bacon flavor, this is a lively wine that floats on red fruits and some dry tannins; well blended.

Pascal & Alain Lorieux 2005 Expression Cabernet Franc (Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil)
A fresh fruity style of St-Nicolas, with some good, easy juicy red fruit flavors, only lightly underlain by a layer of dry tannins. It is still young, but it should certainly be very drinkable in summer 2007.

Pascal & Alain Lorieux 2003 Thélème Cabernet Franc (Chinon)
A vibrant, fresh wine, with bramble fruits and lively tannins. For a 2003, though, a very hot year, this wine is surprisingly lightweight, missing any real depth of flavor.
