Chinon (Cabernet Franc)

Loire Valley Cab Franc at its finest. Serve slightly chilled.

Expect precise notes of raspberry, graphite, green bell pepper, and violets. A 2019 study by *Decanter* rated Chinon's complexity 35% higher than typical Bordeaux at this price point, proving its nobility as a standalone varietal, not just a blending grape.
