Domaine de Pallus 'Messanges' - Chinon

This is a 2018 vintage wine made from 100% Cabernet Franc, hailing from Chinon, France. Chinon has long been known for bringing out the unique traits of Cabernet Franc. In the charming village of Messanges, Pallus tends to vines growing in sandy soil. This wine offers lovely aromatic notes of rose petals, crushed stones, rosemary, and bell pepper, along with fruit undertones like dried raspberries. It pairs splendidly with a Philly Cheese Steak, enhancing your dining experience.

To enjoy this wine, simply uncork it and let it breathe for about 30 minutes before serving. Pour it into a wine glass and savor the aroma first. You can drink it at room temperature, but a slightly chilled temperature around 60 - 65°F can enhance the flavor. When it comes to food pairing, as mentioned, a Philly Cheese Steak is a great match, but it also goes well with other grilled meats. Store the opened bottle in the refrigerator and make sure to seal it tightly. If you have any left, it can stay fresh for about 2 - 3 days.
