Domaine de Beauséjour, Chinon 2022
Chinon AOC, Loire Valley, France
Domaine de Beauséjour Chinon 2022 is a classic expression of Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley, showcasing the elegance, freshness, and aromatic complexity that define the renowned Chinon appellation. The 2022 vintage delivers exceptional ripeness while preserving the vibrant character and finesse of the region.
Deep ruby-red in color, the wine opens with expressive aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and red currant, complemented by delicate notes of violet, graphite, black pepper, and subtle hints of cedar and dried herbs.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, offering fresh red and dark fruit flavors supported by fine tannins and lively acidity. The characteristic Cabernet Franc notes of spice, crushed herbs, and earthy minerality add depth and complexity, leading to a long, elegant finish.
The limestone and clay soils of Chinon contribute structure and freshness, while the Loire Valley climate allows the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness without sacrificing elegance. The 2022 vintage combines fruit concentration with remarkable precision and balance.
