CHATEAU DU PETIT THOUARS LES GEORGES CHINON ROUGE 2022

Elegant raspberry notes along with some sappy red cherry. This is classic Chinon in its marriage of vibrant fruit, honest tannins, and refreshing earth-mineral interplay.

The friendliest of the estate’s three red-wine offerings, “Les Georges” is produced entirely from the free-run juice of the younger vines of Cabernet Franc, and is vinified and aged in steel tank. This cuvée comes primarily from “Les Plantes,” the thirteen hectares of Cabernet Franc planted between 1978 and 1988.
