Les Blancs Manteaux

2012 Chinon Cabernet Franc

Domaine De La Noblaie Les Blancs Manteaux showcases the alluring character of Cabernet Franc from the esteemed Chinon region in France. This red wine presents a medium-bodied profile that is both approachable and complex, enticing with a balance of bright acidity that refreshes the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of dark berries and subtle herbal undertones that reflect the terroir. Tannins are well-integrated, providing a firm structure without overwhelming the senses. As a dry wine, it pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, making it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and more formal occasions. The vintage of 2012 has rendered this wine particularly enjoyable now, as it exhibits a harmonious blend of flavors that exemplify the qualities of a classic Loire Valley Cabernet Franc.
