Red Wine Cheverny Oak Barrel 2022 by La Chablisienne

Description

Aromas and Flavour

La Chablisienne Cheverny Fût de Chêne 2022 is a rich, complex wine with a varied and intense aromatic palette. On the nose, it reveals aromas of red fruit, such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by woody and spicy notes. On the palate, it impresses with its well-balanced tannic structure and silky texture. Flavours of cherry, plum and liquorice blend harmoniously to produce a long, lingering finish.

Grape variety

This wine is a harmonious blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay. The Pinot Noir brings elegance and finesse, while the Gamay gives fruitiness and freshness. Each grape variety is vinified separately before being blended, to get the best out of each. Ageing in oak barrels adds further complexity, enriching the wine's aromas and flavours.

Terroir

The Cheverny terroir, located in the Loire Valley, is famous for its clay-limestone and sandy soils, which offer optimal drainage and excellent heat retention. The La Chablisienne vineyards benefit from ideal exposure, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. This unique terroir, combined with a temperate microclimate, produces wines of exceptional quality, perfectly reflecting the expression of the terroir.

The Vin Rouge Cheverny Fût de Chêne 2022 is the fruit of this relentless quest for perfection and the desire to preserve winegrowing traditions while incorporating modern winemaking techniques.
