Distinctive, with a strong, racy graphite underpinning carrying the raspberry ganache, spice, incense and sweet olive notes through a long, fine-grained finish. Really enticing.

Pallus Pensees Chinon has really hit it's stride, the aromatics are layered and complex, and the structure has softened just enough to give it that - yum - factor. An excellent addition to the dinner table.

Winemaker's Notes:

Since the debut 2004 vintage, Les Pensées has grown in stature with each passing vinage. It is assembled from parcels on several different soil types, with the aim to define “Chinon” in a glass. It reveals classic Loire Valley Cabernet Franc aromas and flavors, but with remarkable precision and the kind of textural depth that is rarely seen in Chinon.
