WINE DESCRIPTION
Chateau du Petit Thouars is a family run estate nestled in corridors of natural limestone caves in the Chinon appellation of the Loire Valley. The property was deeded to the family by Cardinal Richelieu in 1636 and vineyards that surround the farm house were planted in 1975. Today the 150 hectare estate is run by Sebastien du Petit Thouars (12th generation to dwell here since his ancestor George purchased the property in 1636) and his wife d’Arcy.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Château du Petit Thouars Les Georges Chinon Loire is a delightful expression of Cabernet Franc, displaying red berry and plum fruit aromas, along with notes of tobacco, spice, and earth.On the palate, it is medium-bodied and well-structured with smooth tannins and a pleasant finish. A great accompaniment to grilled salmon, roasted vegetables, and creamy cheeses.
