" Domaine Pallus is helmed by Bertrand Sourdais. After earning his stripes in Chile, Spain, and Bordeaux, Bertrand returned to his native Chinon to take over his family domaine and introduce organic and biodynamic practices. Messange is the old name of this native varietal and a textbook Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley: punchy red cherry, silky tannins, with a vegetal and tobacco edge. If you enjoy Pinot Noir and Gamay, Cab Franc is always a good choice. Pair this juicy red with chicken, veggies, and even fish! It is a versatile, friendly, and playful wine to bring to any occasion." -Wine Consultant, Julien Khelif
