Don't be fooled. This is more than perfectly drinkable. It is clean and definitely identifiable as chinon... tasted with wholesale buyers and our tasting group and got 'wows' all round... you'll find this in Paris bistros and only via balanced wine selections in the USA.... really great drink. PM me for more info
