Château de la Grille 2014 - Chinon
The 28 hectares of the Château de La Grille vineyard are planted with the only Cabernet Franc grape variety on the clay-limestone soils around the château. The harvest is always manual. Built in 1970 under the direction of Albert Gosset, the winery already integrated the elements allowing to vinify the production of the Castle in the best conditions: filling by gravity, stainless tanks, thermoregulation, punching ... After a breeding of 12 to 15 in barrels the wine is bottled in special bottles, a reproduction of an 18th century champenois bottle. It matures in the cellar for a minimum of two to three years. The homogeneity of the terroir combined with the level of requirement and the know-how of Champagne make Château de la Grille "the exception of Chinon".
