Domaine Les Chesnaies (Béatrice et Pascal Lambert)
Cuvée Marie Chinon Cabernet Franc
Chinon, Touraine, Loire Valley, FranceQuite concentrated cherry. Alcohol definitely present. Not as big a fan of this as some of the other ratings. Slight old laundry smell which may be blowing off. Nice tannins still holding strong. 2009

Very nice and freshly fruity. Easy drinking.

May 5th, 2015Very quaffable, but still impressive, showing the elegance of cabernet franc - blackcurrant, herbs, charmingly farm-like (not much, though, it’s no brett-monster at all). Acidity like lightning through the dark fruits, polished tannins. Pretty much perfect. Magnum bottle.

Apr 28th, 20162010; pretty floral aromatics, great colour, still youthful. Great attack BUT the wine is highly acidic and the tannins are unripe. Green Flavors persist. Very aggressive and unfriendly. Short. Disappointing.
