A classic example of superbly-crafted, lower-intervention Cabernet Franc from the variety’s spiritual home in Chinon. The palate is bright & red-fruited, with hints of the variety’s characteristic greenness, wet stone, and well-integrated tannins. Delicious! Food Pairing Cassoulet, grilled or braised meats

Hailing from the limestone-clay slopes on the outskirts of Chinon town, home to other famous vineyards like Clos de l'Olive and Chêne Vert, Le Clos Guillot 2020 offers a cloud of Cabernet Franc fruit with fine refreshing acidity. Savory, silken and seductive, the wine is flooded with a stream of acidity. It is a calm wine with a mass of chalky tannins that coat the palate reassuringly. The finish is long, quiet and scented with dark raspberries and spice. There is a minor complaint of a touch of dryness at the very end of this wine.
