WINE DESCRIPTION
Les Pensées de Pallus, a creation of Domaine de Pallus, epitomizes the essence of Chinon. Crafted from vines over 35 years old with a low yield, not exceeding 30 hectoliters per hectare, it thrives in sandy, limestone-rich soils peppered with pebbles. This Cabernet Franc varietal showcases the unique terroir of the Chinon AOC in the Loire Valley, France. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels and an additional 6 months in concrete, it attains a perfect balance. The wine, a radiant red, unfolds with the distinct character of Cabernet Franc—expressive notes of red fruit, subtle spices, and a refined, enduring finish.
