Chinon 2021
Loire Valley, France
100% Cabernet Franc
This Cab Franc has aromas of dark berry, black cherry and green bell pepper. Tastes of raspberry, cola and green pepper flavors nicely framed by silky, integrated tannins. This is an excellent, light-mid weight Cabernet Franc introduction.
Les Athlètes du Vin come from a group of vigneron friends from the Loire Valley — they call themselves Vini Be Good — and founded by Fabrice Gendrot, who today partners with Francis del Tedesco.
The sportif themed labels remind us that wine isn’t always reserved for the table, and as the world begins her reopening, it’s totally time to stretch the old muscles and get outside. “Drinking wine is also a sport, as you have to lift your elbow — a very high-level intensity of physical activity, you know,” says Fabrice.
