La Niverdiere "Resilience" Chinon Rouge 2016

Our Score
(3/2019) For a pure expression of red wine sourced from limestone soils, you have to check out this stunning single site Cabernet Franc from a tiny grower in Chinon, selected by the talented Thomas Calder. This beauty is dense, layered with black and red fruits, black pepper, bell pepper and chalky, white rock minerality. The wine will benefit from an additional 3-4 years of age but will drink quite nicely now. Just lovely.

Couly-Dutheil "Rene Couly" Chinon Rose 2017

(11/2018) Right out of the bottle, this Vin Chicago favorite shows expressive aromas of watermelon, strawberry and red cherry. After a few swirls, green herbal aromas appear - reminding you this is 100% Cabernet Franc. Fresh on the palate, with deep flavors of melon and red fruits, it leans to the fuller side of medium-full in body. An excellent choice for bistro fare (or just about anything else), it is of the more powerful dry Roses of the 2017 vintage.
