Description
In a nutshell:
A big and bold red wine with over-flowing red and black fruit flavours from the Loire region, France.
The lowdown:
The impressive Chateau Coudray-Montpensier, located in Chinon, has a rich history that dates back to the Middle Ages. After various owners throughout history the property was eventually acquired by Dr Christian Feray in 2005, who undertook major restoration. The property comprises of 34ha of vines, situated on the left bank of the river Vienne. The grapes are grown on varied soil types. The Cabernet Franc used to the Chinon is sourced from 14ha of vines grown in the finest vineyards in the Chinon appellation. The grapes were destemmed and placed in stainless steel tanks where they underwent a combination of cold and warm pre-fermentation maceration, depending on the plot, to increase the extraction of aromas and soft tannins. Following racking the wine was aged for several months in stainless steel tanks to retain the Cabernet Francs fresh fruit characters. This wine is garnet red in colour with purple reflections. The nose opens with aromas of ripe red and black fruit mixed with hints of liquorice. On the palate, smooth tannins are balanced by bright acidity and intense flavours of blackcurrant.
When to drink:
This wine would pair well with red meat dishes, such as slow cooked lamp shoulder, or a cheese course.
