Chinon Les Athletes Du Vin 2020

Athlètes du Vin is a collective of Loire Valley producers that set out on a mission to bring the winemaker's table to you. The wines are meant to be opened often and consumed without pretension. Poured out liberally with cherished friends and good food. Pineau is a native grape to the region and a true sponge of terroir. 

This Cabernet Franc is grown on clay, limestone and flint from various plots of 25 year old vines grown in sandy clay, limestone and flint soils in Touraine. Harvested by hand, the grapes are fermented in concrete tank for 3 weeks. Ageing is done in oak vats for 6 months. A crispy and fruity Chinon with delightful aromas of red fruits. A well-structured but silky wine with a long finish.
