Terroir and style
Chinon stretches from the sandy and gravelly banks of the Vienne to the limestone tuffeau hillsides. This varied geology allows Cabernet Franc to express its full range. Wines from the plains are soft, fruity and bright while the limestone slopes deliver structure, depth and darker fruit aromas along with graphite and forest floor. The overall style is vibrant and precise with firm yet delicate tannins and a lively freshness.

Food pairing
Chinon pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roast poultry, vegetable based dishes, terrines, river fish in red wine sauce and aged goat cheeses.

Good to know
Chinon is one of the Loire’s benchmark terroirs for Cabernet Franc. Top hillside cuvées age remarkably well, sometimes for several decades.

Signature
Chinon expresses Cabernet Franc in its most nuanced form with finesse, freshness and aromatic depth.
