Appellation Chinon - AOC

Chinon is an appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) located in the stunning Loire Valley region of France, renowned for its exceptional red wines. Dominated by the Cabernet Franc grape variety, this appellation offers wines with intense aromas of red fruits, spices, and sometimes even mineral notes. The diverse soils of the region, ranging from gravel to limestone clay, impart remarkable complexity and structure to Chinon wines.

Chinon wines are particularly appreciated for their balance between lively acidity and silky tannins, making them ideal for cellaring. Wine enthusiasts and cellar management experts also recognise the value of Chinon for its ability to complement a wide variety of dishes, from grilled meats to aged cheeses.

To optimise your wine cellar, integrating bottles of Chinon not only enriches your collection with exceptional wines but also enhances your management by adding wines with strong ageing potential. Discover the secrets of sommeliers with well-preserved Chinons to fully appreciate their maturation.
