Description

chevron-down

The homogeneity of the terroir combined with the highest standards make Château de La Grille "the exception of Chinon." This wine, instantly recognizable by its bottle, a replica of an 18th-century Champagne bottle, sets the tone for the style and complexity of this "luxury Chinon."

The Château de la Grille Rouge is a 100% Cabernet Franc! After aging for 15 months in wooden barrels and stainless steel tanks (50/50), the wine is aged for another two years in the bottle before release.

The nose is generous with red and black fruit, particularly fresh figs and blackberries, interspersed with notes of toasted wood, ink, vanilla, and a touch of spice. The palate is spicy, yet round and juicy, with a long, complex finish and a very noticeable freshness. A superb wine with excellent aging potential. Top quality from the Loire Valley.
