A lighter Loire red may sound like an odd wine to mention\u00a0in the cold January months, but the\u00a02013 Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Granges\u00a0fits the bill in a few\u00a0respects:<\/p>\n

Its 11.5% ABV pays lip service to the notion\u00a0of a dry January as\u00a0does its availability in half bottles, both of which mean you can pour in a relatively guilt free fashion and for the even less abstemious – also top up on a week night.<\/p>\n

Don’t let the lower alcohol level\u00a0put you off however, there’s plenty of depth and dimension to this really well made wine, a treat on the nose and in the glass. \u00a0A great example of Loire valley Cabernet Franc from one of our longest standing\u00a0producers.<\/p>\n

‘From vines in the valley on a free-draining sandy gravel. Bright purple colour. Very precise floral (heady dark roses) and fruit (damson and blueberry) nose and this is followed on palate with a dryly expansive juicy purple floral flavour.’\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>L&S<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Cabernet Franc<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley, Chinon lies just south of the river between Angers and Tours. Whilst Chinons can come in a range of weights, the Les Granges is the classic light, bright and bouncily fruited red \u2013 crisp raspberry flavours, with a touch of cut grass wafting in the air; like a Beaujolais version of claret, or is that the other way round? It\u2019s the sort of red that, in the Summer, you can drink chilled but, at this time of year, just popping the cork out in front of the telly with something intelligent to say to your significant other, it\u2019s a glass of civilised and relaxed but flirtatious fun.<\/p>\n

Half Bottles?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have a surprisingly bountiful array of half-bottles. You may want to check out our ‘full’ range<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
