Regular price $30.00
Sold out

This lovely wine is made of 100% Cabernet Franc. We would pair this with Chile-Braised Chicken Tostadas. Les Pensées de Pallus is the estate's flagship expression of Chinon, and does so with incredible precision and textural depth unlike other wines from the appellation today. An intriguing nose of dark berries and violets are followed by a conjunction of black raspberry preserves, earth, and graphite. Aged for 3 years before release. Winemaker Bertrand Sourdais employs long, gentle extractions and élevage in used Burgundian oak to make truly awesome Chinon.

Details

From our Importer: While achieving renown for his work in Spain, Bertrand Sourdais remained passionate for his native Chinon, and for its emblematic variety, Cabernet Franc. In 2003, with his father’s retirement nearing, Bertrand took up the challenge of creating something great at his familial estate. As the 5th generation to work this property, he brings a wealth of experience to bear on some of the apellation’s finest vineyard holdings in the very heart of Chinon, Cravant-les-Côteaux.

All estate fruit is farmed biodynamically with average yields around 35hl/ha. Harvesting is by hand, fermentations are
spontaneous with indigenous yeasts in concrete and wooden vats, and macerations last for up to 30 days. All wines except Messanges enjoy a long, gentle élevage in Burgundy barrels and then spend at least 3 years in bottle before release.
