RICH & REFINED. Elegant, seductive aromas of cassis & chalky, mineral-laden earth slowly unfold into firm, soft, plush flavors of red raspberry, rhubarb & tangy boysenberry. Soft, smooth tannins, a graceful structure & a pleasant finish.

100% Cabernet Franc

Pascal and Beatrice Lambert created Les Chesnaies in 1987 with the belief that Chinon, made from Cabernet France, is a multi-faceted wine that is made very differently from one end of this Loire Valley region to the other. Beatrice and Pascal like the agility of Cabernet Franc, which is equally at home as a fancy red for a formal estate party or as an easy-drinking quaff served with a country dinner. They also believe that vines should grow free from pesticides & chemicals, and that clean, healthy grapes produce clean, healthy wines.
