WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine de Pallus Messanges Rouge Chinon is a premium red wine produced by the renowned winemaker Bertrand Sourdais in the Chinon appellation of the Loire Valley. The vineyard is situated on a south-facing slope with clay and limestone soils, which impart a unique character to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before undergoing traditional winemaking techniques, including fermentation in concrete tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the Cabernet Franc grape, with notes of red fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. It is a perfect match for grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
