Domaine de Pallus Les Pensées de Pallus Chinon Cabernet Franc 2012

John Skupny - Lang & Reed Wine Company

What is not to like about an aromatically fresh France with great fruit and lively acid. Nice drink - bring me a flagon & some music!

Elizabeth Rice

Grippy aromatics followed by grippy earthy notes. Quick finish but when paired with St Nick Teire (the Cheese Nuns cheese!) it brings the fruits out.

Matt Sterr

Aggressive aromatics. Earthy with grit. Medium weight.

WInemaker Detert Family Vineayrds

Lovely floral fruit and herb. Bright, lean and tight with verve of tannin and acid. Opens with air and better with a few more years in the cellar

I think this is one of the Vin de l'annes of Pallus in Cravant , nice pure and clean.

Very nice, not over the top can franc from chinon.

Charlie

Enjoyed it, though it was a little stronger than expected.

Thoger Petry

A clean and pleasantly juicy wine. Vibrant acidity with ripe fruits accented by fragrant olive notes and a touch of oak. Food friendly personality with a moderate structure.

Megan Kricsfeld

Sommelier Zach Cherry from Lucas recommended this for our dinner of sous vide lamb with mint, lemon thyme, and dijon. Spot on!

Matt Lasater

Black raspberry jam, wild flowers, currants, pipe tobacco, cedar wood, smoke, medicinal herbs, wet clay, graphite. Great depth and elegance. So perfumed and heady. Truly a wine the demands your attention one the nose. Palate has great concentration and the burst of acid you expect from a Loire red. Totally out performs the price.
