Avant Partir | Chinon Le Domaine 2021
Craving a sip that feels like a warm embrace from the Loire Valley? The Chinon Le Domaine 2021 from Domaine Bernard Baudry is a delicious hug in a glass. We fell for its organic spirit and the pure-hearted Cabernet Franc, nurtured on the region's charming limestone and clay soils. With native yeasts sparking a spontaneous fermentation and a 12-month rest in cement and large wooden vats, it emerges elegantly complex, yet oh-so welcoming.
Picture this: a deep ruby hue that captivates the eye, bursting with the vibrant notes of red berries, black cherry, and a touch of earthiness. There's a hint of graphite and herbs too, making each sip a delightful journey. You'll find its fresh acidity wraps around luscious raspberry, plum, and spice, with fine tannins leading you to a mineral-kissed finale.
This gem pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, pork tenderloin, or grilled sausages. Mushroom dishes? Cassoulet? Absolutely! And don't even get us started on cheese boards—aged Gouda, sharp Cheddar, or nutty Comté are all in for a treat. It's perfect for elevating your tomato pasta or a charcuterie spread.
Whether you're planning a cozy gathering with friends, a delightful family dinner, or a relaxing evening just for you, this wine is your perfect companion. Grab a bottle and let the good times pour!
