WINE DESCRIPTION

Benoit Daridan Cheverny Rouge is a fresh, crunchy, dry red wine hailing from the Cheverny appellation, located in France's Loire Valley. The wine is a majority blend of Pinot Noir, supported by a small proportion of Gamay. Following the harvest, the grapes are destemmed before undergoing a fermentation in concrete vats at cool temperatures to create a lightly extracted, delicately aromatic red. Part of the wine is aged in oak barrels for around 2 months before being blended and bottled ready for release.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Benoit Daridan Cheverny Rouge displays a pale to medium ruby color in the glass with light staining of the tears.On the nose, it reveals delicate hints of fruity and earthy notes. You can expect to find red berry aromas, such as ripe cherries and raspberries, along with subtle hints of forest floor and spices. When it comes to palate, it showcases a medium-bodied profile with a balanced structure. The wine's acidity is refreshing, providing a lively and vibrant finish.
