Marc Bredif Chinon is a red wine from the Loire wine-growing region and is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes.
Domaine Bredif was founded in 1893 and is one of the most famous wine estates in the Loire. It was acquired by Baron Patrick de Ladoucette (arguably most famous for their Baron de L Pouilly Fumé) in 1980.
Baron de Ladoucette is dedicated to maintaining exceptionally high standards throughout its portfolio. The company also has vineyards in Sancerre at Chateau Lafond and in Touraine at Les Deux Tours. The Loire Valley wines of Marc Bredif consistently deliver great value and are available to buy at Fareham Wine Cellar.
Marc Bredif is famous, not only for the best Chinon wines, but also for some fantastic Vouvray wines, including some very long-lived aged Vouvrays, aged in their famous cellars, which are among the largest and most beautiful of the appellation. The cold and humid caves, dug deep into the hillsides, offer extraordinary wine storage conditions. No oak is used in the winemaking of the Vouvray or Chinon to respect the freshness of the grapes and the terroir.
The Cabernet Franc grapes for the Marc Bredif Chinon are grown in the northern part of the Chinon area, specifically in Savigny-en-Véron. The wines are vinified in the state-of-the-art winery located within the landmark Château du Noze. The Cabernet Franc vines have an average age of 15 years. The vineyards are principally gravelly, with varying proportions of clay, and have mostly north / south sun exposure.
.
Chinon wine pairs well with grilled meats, think lamb chops, porck chops, roasted vegetables and rich casseroles or stews.
For the cheeseboard, try with a mature Gouda.
