Domaine Gasnier Chinon 2022

Profile & Story

Domaine Fabrice Gasnier farms in the Chinon appellation using traditional, terroir-driven methods across multiple parcels. Queue de Poêlon is 100% Cabernet Franc from 70-year-old vines on a plain between the Vienne river and the hillside slopes, on clay-silica soil over limestone with full southern exposure. The grapes are destemmed and gravity-fed into small concrete vats for parcel-specific fermentation with indigenous yeasts over about 32 days, then aged 12 months in concrete tank before bottling 15 to 18 months after harvest.

Pairing Recommendation

Described by the producer as an easy wine to pair with refined dishes — recommended with roasted white or red meats, larded monkfish, tuna, salmon, and cheese. Serve at 15-18°C.
