Description
The homogeneity of the terroir combined with the highest standards makes Château de La Grille "the exception of Chinon". Immediately recognizable by its bottle, a replica of an 18th century champagne bottle, this wine sets the tone for the style and complexity of this “luxury Chinon”.
The Château de la Grille Rouge 2020 is a 100% Cabernet Franc! After maturing for 15 months in wooden barrels and stainless steel tanks (50/50), the wine matures for another 2 years in the bottle before being released.
The nose features generous red and black fruit, especially fresh figs and blackberries, interspersed with notes of toasted wood, ink, vanilla and some spices. Spicy, but round and juicy black fruit on the palate with a long, complex aftertaste with a very noticeable freshness. A great wine with great potential for cellaring. Top quality from the Loire.
