La Francette is a brand that Maison Johanès Boubée have put together to represent the key varieties of France, well some of them at least. This is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of blackberry and cassis along with dried herbs and tomato leaf. The wine is wrapped up nicely by chewy tannins and lengthy finish.

The French wine scene can be somewhat of a minefield at times, all we really want is a supplier that makes wines from all across the country while still displaying regional and sub-regional typicity.. Simple right?!? Well, enter Maison Johanès Boubée which is a winery that has succeeded in the French landscape, while relatively unknown outside its borders. The winery has access to all the goodies around the country and aside from an impressive winemaking team, it also has employed sommeliers to taste each wine to confirm it meets that all important terroir feel of each region. The winery is a nod to the old-school way, where you didn’t need to boast a fancy label to sell a bottle of wine and the juice inside is the most important part. We have tasted through a large range of their wines and are very impressed with the overall quality in each bottle. The La Frabcette range is sourced from the warm, sunny part of France, from Languedoc to the Rhone, where the sun shines and the grapes ripen quickly.
