Plouzeau "Rive Gauche" Loire Valley, France 2023

FROM WEYGANDT:

THE PRODUCER: On the Left Bank of Chinon, native land of François Rabelais, extends a wine landscape preserved for several centuries. Recognized as a great historical terroir at the birth of the Chinon appellation, he asks only to reveal his extraordinary potential and to discover his hidden treasures. On these still wild hills interspersed with wood, the vines look to the south and enjoy a very favorable micro climate.

Thanks to the will of 2 generations, the Château de la Bonnelière has regained its nobility and its original vocation – Wine. Our vineyard which extends over more than 30 ha is conducted in organic farming. It is exclusively located on the communes of the Left Bank of Chinon which are full of original terroirs. We seek from them a unique expression on each of our cuvées.

THE WINE: The grapes for this wine are harvested and vinified by Marc Plouzeau. The aim is to make a very supple wine with delicate tannins and gorgeous red fruit aromas. This is a fresh, elegant and very approachable Chinon.
