The deep garnet purple colored Chantegrive offers up notes of baked plums, warm cassis and blackberry preserves plus hints of bay leaves, underbrush, pencil lead and crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a firm foundation of chewy tannins with just enough freshness to lift the muscular black fruits, finishing earthy.
