From the limestone soils of Chinon, Alain Lorieux crafts a Cabernet Franc of finesse and depth. Aromas of red currant, black pepper, and crushed violets unfold into a silky palate laced with bright acidity and gentle tannins. The finish reveals subtle earth and graphite—hallmarks of the Loire’s cool terroir. Elegant yet approachable, this red pairs seamlessly with roast chicken, duck confit, or a simple charcuterie board. A sommelier’s favorite for its balance of fruit and freshness.
