Domaine de la Roche Honneur Cuvée de Pâques, AOP Chinon Organic

A Classic Expression of Chinon

Tasting Notes

Domaine de la Roche Honneur Cuvée de Pâques AOP Chinon is an organic red that beautifully captures the essence of the Chinon appellation. Aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and a hint of spice greet the nose, leading to a rich and full-bodied palate. Flavours of dark fruit, subtle tobacco, and soft tannins create a harmonious balance, while a touch of earthiness adds complexity. The finish is smooth, with a lingering hint of fresh acidity.
