Served cold-ish brings freshness and raspberry flavours with a mild bitterness on the finish. No jaw puncher but a good week day wine!

Fruity, round without being overpowering, a backbone but drinkable. Would be interesting to see what a few years would do.

Really pleasant Chinon with some spicy notes and a nice long and wonderful finish that lingers for quite some time.
