Chinon is the Loire Valley's great red wine appellation, where Cabernet Franc reaches an expression quite unlike anywhere else in the world. The cool climate and tuffeau limestone soils produce wines with bright acidity, crunchy red fruit, and the distinctive graphite-and-herb character that defines Loire Cabernet Franc. "Les Pucelles" (the maidens) is a vineyard-designated bottling from Domaine des Frères, showcasing how site-specific these wines can be. The 2021 vintage was challenging throughout France, but the Loire fared better than most, and cooler years often produce particularly elegant, aromatic Chinon. This is a wine for the table—its freshness and moderate alcohol make it ideal alongside charcuterie, roasted poultry, or mushroom dishes. Serve slightly cool to appreciate its aromatic complexity.

Loire Valley Wines

The Loire Valley is France’s greatest source of value for anyone looking for elegant, terroir-driven wines. Our collection celebrates the region’s great diversity, with the mineral-driven whites of Muscadet and Sancerre, the beautiful Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs from villages like Vouvray and Chinon, and natural wines from everywhere in the region. Sometimes wonderfully fresh and gulpable, sometimes serious and age-worthy, the prices are always very reasonable.
