A word from Cave de France: An emblematic cuvée of the Chinon appellation, this wine is elegant and complex, perfectly reflecting the region's terroir.
Les Picasses comes from old vines, which contributes to the richness of the aromas and the depth of the wine.
You will appreciate its notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by spicy and floral nuances. On the palate, it presents a beautiful structure with fine tannins and balanced acidity, giving it great freshness.
This wine can be enjoyed young, but it also has good aging potential, allowing the aromas to develop over time.

A word from the winemaker: An exceptional 2018 vintage, very aromatic and delicious, with early flowering and beautiful grape bunches benefiting from very favorable summer heat, leading to excellent "pre-harvest" health. Manual harvesting conditions at peak ripeness give us a beautiful balance with a more than promising aging structure.
