    2023 Marc Plouzeau 'Rive Gauche' Chinon (Loire Valley, France) 4R

    A truly exceptional Loire red that captivates from the first pour. The nose opens with an elegant bouquet of rich cassis and luscious dark berries, beautifully woven with inviting earthy undertones that speak to the wine's terroir. On the palate, this wine delivers remarkable complexity and perfect harmony - ripe, velvety tannins provide just the right amount of structure without overwhelming the fruit, creating a beautifully balanced drinking experience that lingers pleasantly on the finish.
