Vintage 2015 | love this vintage because it is frivolous, lightfooted elegance with raspberries in smell ánd taste. Paired with a stew.

Such a rich and delicious wine. You can tell it’s a warm Vintage but extremely pleasurable because of that.

Vintage 2014 / True to type #Chinon, perhaps a bit stubborn at the moment in taste, with archetypical #cabernetfranc taste, combination of red fruit, minerals, flint.
