"Better known for its Bourgueil wines, the estate produces this Chinon, and what a Chinon it is! The ruby color is intense, but less so than the nose, which releases a deep bouquet combining very ripe fruit with sweet spices. The fruit, led by blackcurrant, blossoms on the palate, which is voluble and plump, supported by silky, well-coated tannins. Stocky and generous, the jury loved it. Drink now or cellar for a few years. At this price, it's a real bargain." (Le Guide Hachette 2026).
