Remy Pannier Chinon Cabernet Franc 2015

This bright ruby red from France's Loire Valley exhibits distinctive aromas of violets with lively flavors of berries and hints of spice. Elegant and soft with an appealing finish.

The grapes are hand-picked to conserve the fruit's aromas. Wine-making is carried out at a controlled temperature (24-28°C) for 15 to 30 days, with daily pumping over for better extraction. The wine is matured for 18 months.

The ancient town of Chinon dates back to Roman times. The designated vineyard area covers 3,250 acres between the Loire and Vienne Rivers. The soil varies from gravel to sand and chalk.
