Chinon Rouge "Beaumont" 2022 - Domaine Breton

A Cabernet Franc from Domaine Breton, from a parcel in the Chinon appellation in the central Loire Valley. The vineyard is certified organic, the grapes are hand-harvested in crates, and fermentation uses indigenous yeasts, followed by ageing in wooden vats for about 12 months. It is ruby red, with berry fruit and cherry aromas, spicy traces and mineral notes. On the palate it is savoury, with balanced tannins and good body, and it closes on fruity notes. It suits white and pink meats, such as lamb rack in a spiced crust.
