Béatrice et Pascal Lambert | 2022 Les Perruches Chinon Rouge | $35.37 x 12 bottles
Domaine Lambert's Les Perruches Chinon Rouge 2022 is a biodynamically farmed Cabernet Franc shaped by its namesake terroir, a flint-rich clay soil locally called "Perruches." Hand-harvested, spontaneously fermented, and aged 12 to 18 months in a mix of large and small old barrels, it's bottled unfined and unfiltered for a pure expression of place. Expect a fine purple hue, aromas of red plum, sour cherry, black pepper, mocha and a powerful, firmly structured palate that finishes on warm spice
