Beautiful Chinon, very fragrant, salty, zesty, minerally. Totally missing the green grassy ness so typical and for me unattractive of many Cabernet franc. Outstanding effort, long burn.

Even better than I remember Rougeard and Rougeard Poyeux! Full bodied, refined, textured. True Loire ‘Grand Cru’!
