Chinon wine is made from the harvest of the commune of the same name. In the classic version, it is a drink made from rose varieties of berries, with some white grapes occasionally added. The wines are made from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
Chinon wines can be stored in cool rooms, protected from direct sunlight for several decades without losing their great taste and aroma. They pair beautifully with many French and Italian dishes. Gourmets often associate Chinon wines with freshness, softness, and lightness.
