Domaine des Hauts Baigneux Touraine Rouge 'Les Pentes'

'In 2013, longtime friends Nicolas Grosbois and Philippe Mesnier purchased 12 hectares of vines in Azay-le-Rideau, an excellent though relatively unknown terroir located a few kilometers east of Chinon. They immediately began farming all the vines organically, and set about on an ambitious project to reintroduce the wines of Azay-le-Rideau. Traditionally, Azay-le-Rideau is famous for white wines made from Chenin Blanc and rosé wines made from Grolleau and Gamay. Their Les Pentes is 100% Cabernet France made in a juicy, easy-to-drink and fun style. Fresh and snappy, yet structured and laced with classic Cab Franc notes of juicy dark berries, herbs, pepper, and spice, it's a pure charmer!
