Tasting Notes


Deep ruby with purple highlights.

On the nose intense red fruit (raspberry, cherry), layered with classic Chinon herbal notes and hint of black pepper.

On the palate smooth and elegant with silky, well integrated tannins. The 2019 vintage was particularly warm, resulting in a slightly richer body and more ripeness than cooler years, yet it maintains its characteristic acidity and mineral lift.

Food pairing: suited for roasted meats, such as lamb with herbs, hearty stews, or hearty vegetarian dishes featuring mushrooms and lentils.

Crafted from the oldest vines on the historic estate, the Château du Petit Thouars "L'Épée" is a classic and remarkably expression of Loire Valley Cabernet Franc. Grown on a premier clay and limestone plateau, this 2019 vintage balances an elegant ruggedness with crisp acidity. Aged in old oaks, it delivers a deeply savory and vibrant experience that feels at the same time sophisticated and approachable. It is a perfect transition wine, enough body for a chilly evening, but enough acidity to pair with a sunny afternoon cheese board.
