Domaine André & Michel Quenard, Chignin Persan 2023
Price: 27,00€
DESCRIPTION
Persan is a rare and ancient Alpine grape variety, saved from oblivion by a few passionate winegrowers like the Quenard family. Planted on the ferruginous clay hillsides of Chignin, it yields wines of a deep color and a unique tannic structure, built for aging.
Domaine André & Michel Quenard vinifies this treasure in a traditional and careful manner. The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a long maceration (one month) to extract the grape variety's full complexity. The one-year aging in demi-muids (large oak barrels) allows the tannins to develop a patina without masking the fruit, and the wine is bottled without added sulfur until bottling, with no fining or filtration.
This 2023 vintage unveils a racy and profound palate, marked by smoky notes, meat jus, and fresh grape. It is a wine of character that will pair perfectly with rich dishes such as beef bourguignon, game, or duck breast.
REGION
Savoie
France
La Savoie est une région viticole française montagneuse situé vers la frontière suisse. La région est très fragmenté par son relief montagneux. Le climat frais de la Savoie dicte la prédominance de vins blancs vifs produits dans la région. Malgré la difficulté des rouges à mûrir dans ce type de climat, la Savoie est la maison de la Mondeuse, un cépage rouge utilisé pour faire des vins avec une importante amertume.
Recommandé pour vous:
A very original red wine. It is powerful, a little untamed, with smoky flavors. You must like wines of character!
