2021 Pallus Chinon "Messanges Rouge", Loire Valley, FranceAbout This Wine The grapes for "Messanges Rouge" are hand harvested from meticulously tended vineyards in the Chinon appellation. Following a traditional fermentation with native yeasts, the wine is aged in a mix of stainless steel and seasoned oak barrels, which contributes to its balanced complexity. Bottled in early March 2023, this Chinon is approachable now but will also develop additional character with short to medium term aging. About This
