Domaine de la Noire Chinon “Soif de Tendresse” Staff Picks Genetically identical to Zinfandel100% Cabernet Franc Fragrant red currant, wild raspberry and crushed violets rise first, followed by subtle graphite and fresh herbs. The palate is medium bodied with fine, silky tannins and bright acidity that keeps the red fruit lively and precise. Hints of black tea and gentle earth add complexity through a clean, lifted finish. Ideal with duck breast, roasted beet and goat cheese salad, mushroom tart, grilled salmon, or charcuterie with cornichons
