I was contemplating what to pair with a pork fillet dish. I felt Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz would overwhelm this dish, and Pinot Noir and Grenache seemed too aromatic. Then I found the 2018 Chateau de Coulaine Chinon Cabernet Franc in my cellar.
This Loire wine is medium bodied. It is dark fruited and slightly spiced. The wine is not very complex, but very pleasant and balanced; a wine well made. It certainly did the job and is good value at about A$40/bottle.
Score: 91/++
