Dom. de Pallus Chinon Pensees de Pallus 2019

Pensées de Pallus is a beautifully expressive Chinon, made from 100% Cabernet Franc, showcasing the finesse and purity of this noble grape from the Loire Valley. In the glass, it presents a deep ruby-red core with violet highlights. The nose is vibrant and aromatic, displaying layers of red and black berries—raspberries, blackcurrants, and cherries—complemented by notes of violet, graphite, crushed herbs, and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with refined tannins and bright, mouthwatering acidity. It balances juicy fruit with savoury elements like tobacco leaf, pencil shavings, and a stony minerality typical of the terroir of Cravant-les-Côteaux.
