Approachable, tart red fruit. Soft earth and pepper. Youthful acidic backbone. Good entry to chinon, but for a little more cash you can think a lot more from one of the top producers.

Great little bottle of Chinon. Slightly pricey for entry level, but delicious none the less

The perfect thing with la cuisine de ma tante. Lovely pepperiness and concentrated flavor with a delightfully light body.

Crunchy texture, mineral & crisp, my kind of breakfast wine! Goes well with toast & blackberry jam.

Easy-going, lively and light, yet with precise, positively tart red berries dominating the airy palate. Picknick wine!
