Chateau Chantal Naughty Dry Red Michigan

Winemaker Notes: Our Naughty (dry) and Nice (semi-sweet) red wines were designed to be low in tannin with smooth finishes. These wines are made from a blend of Gamay, the same grape grown in Beaujolais, Pinot Noir, Malbec, and varying degrees of Cabernet Franc and Merlot depending on the year. With 100% stainless steel fermentation, the wines retain their bright berry and cherry fruits to compliment an array of foods. We enjoy these wines paired with grilled meats, burgers, BLT sandwiches, grilled veggies, and tomato based sauce dishes.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "This see-through blend made up primarily of 37% Gamay and 30% Pinot Noir smells of peppercorns, weathered wood, fallen leaves and ripe berries. Mouthwatering acidity highlights pomegranate and plum flavors, joined by savory herbs and minimal, but supportive tannins. White-pepper and blackberry flavors round out the finish of this medium-weight food-friendly red."
