Winemaker Notes

The wine, which used to be the assembly of various plots, becomes a terroir wine that provides a stunning and undeniably dense mouth-feel. The quality of this sandy, calcareous soil, its exposition to hours of sunlight on the hill and the wine making procedures make Les Pensées de Pallus the “premier cru” of the Domaine.

Critical Acclaim

WS 92
Wine Spectator
Offers enticing mulled spice and black tea nuances at first while a core of gently steeped cherry and blackberry fruit unwinds, showing savory and chalky mineral details through the finish. Latent length.
RP 91
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From the very best plots of the sandy limestone slopes in Cravant-les-Côteaux, the 2017 Chinon Les Pensées de Pallus offers a pure, fresh, fragrant and intense bouquet of ripe and concentrated as well as spicy red and dark berries (most of all blackberries and cassis but also cherries) and earthy, mineral and floral aromas. Silky textured, fresh and vital on the palate, this is a full-bodied, juicy but also straight and tight Cabernet Franc with an intense and elegant, fruity texture that represents both layers of the terroir: sand and tuff limestone. This is an excellent, nervy and stimulating Chinon from Bertrand Sourdais.
JS 91
James Suckling
Aromas of cracked pepper, bark, blackberries, cloves and blackcurrant leaves. It’s medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and fine tannins. Fresh and peppery. Drink or hold.
