2021 M Plouzeau Domaine de la Croix Marie Chinon Loire France (Copy)
$22.99 USD
“We love everything about this Chinon from its old-vine fruit purity to its harmonious fusion of earth and minerals.”
Ian Cauble, Master Sommelier
Marc Plouzeau has become a revolutionary force in Chinon promoting organic and biodynamic farming. The family single handedly resurrected the famed Château de la Bonnelière to its former glory. In 2014, the Plouzeas purchased Domaine de la Croix Marie Chinon which is positioned on the left bank of the village. The property is prized for its low-yielding 50+ year-old Cabernet Franc on soils of pure chalk. Depth and purity shines through with this 2017 release. The wine is gracefully structured and juicy, with great acidity, earthy minerality and flavors dominated by dried red fruits, violets, licorice and savory herbs. Serve just above cellar temperature paired with a simple steak preparation.
