Wine information

Les Picasses is a cuvée of clay-limestone on yellow limestone, which, as the name suggests, comes from the famous Picasses vineyard in the municipality of Beaumont-en-Véron. Three quarters of the vines on the 1.8 hectares are 20 years old, but a quarter are already around 84 years old. Fermentation takes place in cement tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in barrels. This is followed by twelve months of ageing in one-third new, one-third second and one-third third oak barrels. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered with little sulphur.

Nose

The 2021s Chinon Les Picasses offers a lot of finesse and sensuality, ripeness and coolness at the same time. There are sweet cherry and sour cherry, cassis and a little elderberry in combination with a very discreet wood, with herbs, a cool rock note and a few redcurrant leaves.

Palate

On the palate, the texture of the Cabernet Franc is silky and round, the dark fruit sensual, juicy, mouth-filling and ripe. It is supported by a little firm dark chocolate and liquorice. In addition, there are also spicy ripe green notes of redcurrant leaves and mint. The Chinon has a good length with a long present ripe acidity.
