2022 Château de la Bonnelière Chinon "Les Lisons", Loire Valley, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
The wine is 100% Cabernet Franc, drawn from vines around 40 years old (and estate holdings dating to 1846) growing on soils including gravel, clay–limestone, and silica close to the Vienne River. It reflects both Chinon's diverse soils and Plouzeau's organic philosophy. With aging potential through the early 2030s, it’s a wine worth both enjoying now or cellaring for savored development.
ABOUT THIS PROUCER
Marc Plouzeau, now the fourth generation at the helm, converted the estate to certified organic farming starting in 1999 and oversees 18–33 hectares of vineyards in Chinon. His holdings comprise several terroirs—Les Lisons (clay‑limestone), Les Galets (gravel), Chapelle (flint/clay), and Clos de la Bonnelière—each expressed in different cuvées. The flagship 4ème Génération bottling is made from estate vines and aged in demi‑muids for around 12 months, capturing both structure and elegance.
