Le Chant Rouge 2020 Review
Le Chant keeps it simple. It makes one red and one white, showing off the Stellenbosch style with a touch of French flair. This delicious kitchen sink blend that features Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc with smaller inclusions of Shiraz, Sangiovese, Malbec, and Petit Verdot has a lively nose with savory green bell pepper and black pepper notes running through the dense fruit. The palate offers brambly berry notes and more herbaceous tones with a well-balanced mouthfeel.
