Domaine des Freres, Chinon Les Moulins Du Beau Puy, 2020

Loire Cabernet Franc from two brothers who traded engineering careers for vines. Henri and Valentin Bruneau acquired their 11-hectare estate in Beaumont-en-Veron in 2019, farming organically from the start. Les Moulins de Beau Puy comes from a north-facing hillside on yellow tuffeau limestone—the chalky bedrock that gives Chinon its structure. Vines are 25-60 years old. Natural fermentation in concrete, aged 9 months. Floral, elegant, with integrated tannins and a salivating mineral finish. Classic Loire red for the table.
