A fine red Chinon from pure Cabernet Franc that hails from the heavier soils of the southern plateau. It has a lovely savoury palate of cassis and black plums supported by ripe tannins.

• Region: Loire, Chinon
• Producer: Pierre & Fabienne Ferrand
• Vintage: 2010
• Grape variety (Cépage): Cabernet Franc
• Wine pairing - drink with: Poultry, Lamb, Goat's Cheese
• Cellarage: Pleasant when young and best enjoyed within five years of vintage.
