Les Pensées de Pallus 2015 - Chinon (organic)

Domaine de Pallus enjoys a unique location in the Chinon appellation. The estate vines are all on hillsides and each type of soil produces a different wine. After five generations, Bertrand Sourdais took over the management of the estate in 2005. 

In 2013, he decided to revolutionize this cuvée made from "Les pensées de Pallus", a plot named after this flower that is very present in the vineyard, by concentrating on the hillside vines - only a few hectares. The quality of the sandy-limestone soil, the sunshine of the hillside, the work of vinification make this wine the "first growth" of the Domaine.  Fermented in concrete tanks with indigenous yeasts, it is aged for 12 months in Burgundy barrels and 6 months in concrete tanks. 

A gourmet wine, all in delicacy, with a beautiful energy. The tannins are supple and the texture deep.
