The Expression Chinon by Pascal et Alain Lorieux is a graceful, single-varietal Cabernet Franc from Chinon’s mineral-rich clay-silica plateaus. It offers a deep garnet hue and unfolds with vibrant aromas of red berries lifted by gentle spice and herbal accents. On the palate, it is juicy and silky, with balanced acidity, refined tannins, subtle smokiness, and a lingering mineral-tinged finish, capturing the Loire Valley’s freshness and elegance while remaining immediately approachable. A delightful, terroir-driven expression.
