Hands down one of my favorites of the category. It's a bit more extracted than other chinons which makes it very approachable and dense with blackberry and current fruit. Acidity still rips and there's plenty of that graphite mineral character indicative of the region. Tasty.

Cool climate, herbacious, funky sulfur characteristic. Bright fruit with fine tannins.

This is more franc than chinon. Jalapeno and cheese.
