A textbook example of an entry level Chinon. Just enough funk to give it character.

Vegetal, green peppers and tomatoes, beefy tannins while still maintaining acidity and fruit :)

Light, easy drinking. First Chinon I’ve tasted. Not much structure to it.

Blackberry, strawberry, green tobacco, and cracked white pepper notes. Classic Chinon. Huge QPR.

Nose of smoke, strawberry, very appealing. The palate is mostly red fruits and an acid backbone. The tannins are just there to add a kick to the wine before the finish that doesn't last that long. Very pleasing and pleasant
