We had the 2006 vintage which was an absolute joy! Nicely developed, earthy tones combined with a slight bitterness is a winning combination here.

Wow, incredible chinon. Dark cherry/blackberry, spice-black pepper, and some floral and mineral character with nice acidity and tannins. Long finish.

More floral than a typical chinon and finishes with a zesty kick!

Everything you’d want in a chinon with Burgundian finesse. Paired with roast leg of lamb.

20 year old vine, single vineyard Cabernet Franc. Medium bodied dark cherry fruit balanced with chalky tannins. That tannic structure offers fantastic textural complexity. There is a smokiness which reveals as a nuance on the palate, but is firmly pronounced on the nose along with an elegant floral note. Excellent Chinon.
