Cecile Lebrun Chinon AOC Chinon
This mid-weight, unoaked Cabernet Franc delights with an inky purple hue, perfumed aromatics and effortless tannins. Its floral and fruity style presents notes of red currant, raspberry, violet, mint and spice. Fermentation in temperature-controlled vats and aging in stainless steel allows the fruit to shine. Enjoy today and over the next three years. 2023-2026–LW

A high-scoring wine with extra points for its concentration of flavour. Aromas of red currant, raspberry, violet and mint are mirrored on the palate, while a touch of spice lingers on the finish. 2023-2026–LW
