La Niverdière Palimpseste 2018

Chinon cabernet franc of the most special kind. Biodynamically farmed fruit. Aged in concrete, which gives such wonderful fruit purity. Soft, sweetly fruited and lush. Confit cherry, cassis and chocolate, with a hint of gamey savouriness.

Made by Martine Budé, a prodigious self-taught winemaker who set up her estate and has run it singlehanded since 2015. She works with an 'infusion' style of winemaking, favouring gentle extractions, using only concrete vessels to make silky, pure-fruited Chinons as opposed to the more tannic, oak-laden examples that are typical of the region.
