Pascal Aufranc Vignes De 1939 Chénas 2011
Chénas, Beaujolais Villages, Beaujolais, Burgundy, FranceFrom gnarly old bush vines planted in 1939, on granite, comes this elegant and alluring nose of delicate flowers and pulsing granitic minerality. Lovely pure fruit throughout, with waves of textured floral notes and spice and still firm tannins to the fresh, tart finish. I'd cellar this for another five+ years, or open it a few hours (a day) before for maximum enjoyment now. Love the character in this wine.Tasted: 15 November 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $17.95 | 750ml | LCBO |
