The Les Galuches lieu-dit is an ancient river bed of the Loire Valley. This gorgeous organic Cabernet Franc offers beautiful aromatics, enticing minerality, soft, smooth tannins, and mouthwatering freshness buoyed on notes of black cherry, blackberry, violets, and lush riverbed. The finish is long, with hints of white smoke and baking spice. Wonderful as a partner for burgers and grilled meats, this wine is also great with slight chill alongside salmon. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better value Chinon out there.
