CompareDomaine de la Colline, Chinon 2019
In its first flush of youth, the delightful Chinon produced on the property is fruity, reminiscent of the aromas of red berries, wild strawberries and the perfume of violets. In the mouth the wine is lightly tannic, typical of the Cabernet Franc grape variety, but the wine grows rounder with age. A delightful expression of AOC Chinon,.
Grape Variety: Cabernet Franc.
Tasting Notes:
Robe: Deep ruby colour.
Nose: fruity with red berries and hints of stone fruits.
Palate: aromatic and light in tannins which allows potential for ageing between 3 to 10 years.
Food Pairing: ideal with the local goat cheese such as Petit Sainte-Maure or Selles sur Cher.
It is also a great friend with some grilled meat on the BBQ during a hot weather.
First, it is the grape variety of the great red wines of the Loire Valley and Chinon in particular. This grape variety reveals all its complexity and aromatic potential . “Breton”, the other name of Cabernet Franc. As surprising as it may seem, there are indeed no less than four theories explaining the use of the name “Breton” to qualify the main red grape variety of the Loire Valley, now called “Cabernet Franc”.

It is round a little wrapped, but what a beautiful body!
The catchphrase of Chinon wines, which is reminiscent of the giants of Rabelais, is defined as follows:
Aging potential: The wines open out within two or three years; the most structured deserve to be waited for 10 years, or even much longer depending on the vintage.
