Overview:
The Domaine de Noiré 2018 Élegance is a stunning example of Cabernet Franc, showcasing the vibrant character of Chinon's sandy clay soils. With vines aged between 35 and 50 years, this wine balances depth, structure, and refinement. Its deep purple hue and aromatic profile of ripe red fruits exude sophistication, while the smooth tannins ensure a harmonious finish. Enjoy it young or allow it to mature gracefully for up to 8 years. Perfectly suited for gatherings with friends, it pairs beautifully with white or red meat and fine cheeses.
Tasting Notes:
Élegance greets you with an alluring bouquet of boysenberry and ripe blackcurrant, accentuated by hints of paprika and pepper. The palate is full-bodied and well-balanced, with medium tannins that provide a silky structure. Flavours of vibrant red fruits dominate, accompanied by a subtle spiciness that lingers on the finish. Aerate for an hour before serving at 16-17°C to fully appreciate its depth and complexity.
