it's made by béatrice and pascal lambert, and imported by frances rose. i bought it on my last trip to chicago, and unfortunately it's not available in michigan, as it has become one of my new favorites. it was purchased at the whole foods (lincoln park) for $13.99, but most any retail wine shop in chicago should be able to get in from candid wines. i plan on getting at least a case soon, hopefully more.
it tastes like real wine. it is a wine made for drinkability, not durability. there is no sweetness, and it is rather tart, but with finely textured tannins, and is refreshing on a summer evening. it's made of cabernet franc, organic and likely biodynamic. i enjoyed the first bottle in chicago, and the next with my friends christina, anne, and putnam, whose eloquent retelling of the evening can be found here.
