I haven’t met a Chinon I haven’t liked...almost. This has terrific lavender and rosemary notes. BlackBerry and raspberry, too. The nose alone makes me smile and the palate isn’t too shabby, either.

Oh zippy. It is less a hedonist and more and artist. An artist keen on committing to a movement whilst retaining its agency. It has a bit of a funky nose so do the swirl decant dance. Then you’ll have fun earth and every color of pepper and tannins that speak up then stand down yet linger respectfully in the background a like a chaperon who keeps just enough distance. Prob my fave Chinon yet.

What is not to like about an aromatically fresh France with great fruit and lively acid. Nice drink - bring me a flagon & some music!
