The wine region of Chinon
Northern limit of Cabernet Franc in France on the south bank of the Loire in Touraine: velvety, balanced reds with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, cherry, blackcurrant and sweet spices (vanilla, cinnamon), supple tannins and digestible freshness. Light, fruity wines from gravel soils, more structured and mineral tuffeau wines suited to ageing. Also lively rosés and rare Chenin whites. Touraine AOC west of Tours, one of France's northernmost red appellations, from everyday to age-worthy bottles.

The word of the wine: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
