La Cuisine de ma Mere Chinon (France)

This Chinon from Nicolas Grosbois has been dubbed ‘Cuisine de ma mere’, or ‘my mother’s kitchen’ as we might say, as a reference to Nicolas’s childhood spent with his mother in the kitchen. This juicy, fruity red is made entirely from hand-picked Cabernet Franc grapes from old vines in the Chinon region in the Loire Valley.

Violet leads into juicy fruit, with blackcurrant, raspberry and cherry, and just a touch of vanilla.

A juicy, fruity red that stands up very well to red meats and hearty meals, or is equally suitable to enjoy around a cheese board after dinner.
