Story:
No. 1 signifies Jean-Charles' concept of the penultimate wine that embraces the power of the Napa Valley combined with the elegance associated with Jean-Charles' native Burgundy. It is the first time, as he hails from Pinot Noir country, that he has delved into a Cabernet Sauvignon that bears his signature style. There can only ever be one No.1.
For Jean-Charles Boisset, the No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon must not only age well into the future, it must be VOLUPTUOUS in the present. It must have a commanding structure, yet have flavors that are OPULENT. But above all, No. 1 must always have a dramatic personality. It is never tamed and predictable. No. 1 is INCORRIGIBLE.
Tasting notes:
This beautiful 2012 Napa Valley Cabernet showcases a deep, rich plum color that will intrigue your senses immediately. With notes of black cherry, cassis, licorice and allspice, intermingled with a bit of vanilla and currant on the nose, the palate opens up to a very elegant, supple and round mouthfeel that is both luscious and opulent. This well-balanced wine is voluptuous without being overwhelming. It harmonizes perfectly with just the right amount of structure and complexity leading to a long, satisfying finish.
