“Another fine achievement from this estate, a regular in our guide! Here is a Chinon full of freshness and length, with a full-bodied, velvety texture, in a style that is at once early-drinking, deep, and refined. You can stock up on this without breaking the bank. ” (The 2015 Guide to Wine Bargains - Gerbelle & Maurange). An aromatic and pleasant cuvée, with aromas of raspberry, blackcurrant, and violet… Remarkable!

About the estate:

Established in 1981 on part of the family estate in Cravant-les-Coteaux, Pierre Sourdais cultivates his 27 hectares of vineyards using organic farming methods, with vineyards located both on the plains and on the hillsides. The Réserve-Stanislas and Les-Boulaies vintages are the ones to seek out first; they produce the wines with the richest tannic structure and the greatest aging potential.

About the estate:

It was at Moulin-à-Tan that oak bark was once ground for use in tanning hides at the region’s many tanneries. Today, the old mill has given way to a 27-hectare organic vineyard run by Pierre Sourdais, who is gradually passing the business on to his daughter Caroline and his son-in-law Sylvain. A trusted name in the Chinon region.
