Domaine de Pallus 'Les Pensees' Chinon Rouge, France 2018
Les Pensees is the top cuvee from the venerable Domaine de Pallus. The oldest vines on the estate are used for this bottling. A long and gentle maceration and extended elevage in ex-Burgundy barrels is winemaker Bertrand Sourdais' secret to subtle and truly expressive Chinon rouge. Refreshing and lightly peppery, but smooth with dense red berry notes and a luxurious finish. This is a serious but accessible expression of Cab Franc that drinks above its price point.
