Le Moulin Chapitre Chinon

Le moulin chapitre wine takes its name from an old mill where the vignerons used to meet twice a year and then had a talk about the harvest to come and other matters of the vineyard. In old french tenir chapitre was meaning hold these meetings. So they had called the place le moulin chapitre. This is a reminder that chinon and the surrounding region the birthplace of rabelais was one of the centers of philosophy of art and of fine cuisine and wine at the time of the french renaissance. Aromas of red fruit and just a touch of smoke on the nose. In the mouth the wine offers ripe rounded tannins. The finish is long fresh and balanced.
