Wine tasting review

The mouth is medium-weight, supple, and carries a very long finish. Well-structured and minerally. The wine is fresh and bright with an especially buoyant personality. This takes off vertically from the launch pad and heads straight for outer space!


Wine enthusiast acclaim

I love Chinon with all my heart. Specifically, it’s pretty light and lively. In the aroma of plums, beets, tobacco, cabbage. There is a little earth in the taste and a bitter taste in the aftertaste. Terroir: clayey-siliceous and clayey-limestone. Harvest from vines that bloom on the hillsides and plateaus in the foothills of Verona. Organic. Tillage, mechanical and manual. The producer himself writes the following about his wine: «It is the fruit of harmony between grapes, land and a human hand.»

Fantastic bouquet of the most beautiful dark ripe berries in wonderful combination with wood, tobacco and chocolate. Nice deep burgundy color with a visible fatness. The wine is full-bodied and powerful without being too much.

(forgot vintage I had) Very refreshing. Good to drink alone as a day sipper. Downside is that it quickly becomes too thin once food comes into the picture.

Bouquet leaps out of glass. Fruity, slightly heavy

Great dry white wine

A bit of a lemon twist followed by a dry finish. The bottle we opened must have been a bit older as the bottle didn't pop very much and the effervescence didn't last long

Region

Chinon

Chinon is the appellation covering wines produced around the historic town of Chinon, in the central Loire Valley. This area has been producing wine for many centuries, and although wines of all three colours are made there, the focus is now very clearly on red wines. The vineyards of the Chinon AOC cover the relatively steep banks of the Vienne as well as the less steep slopes running northward from the hills above Chinon to the Loire.
Grapes

Cabernet Franc

    Cabernet Franc is one of the major black grape varieties worldwide. It is principally grown for blending with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the Bordeaux style, but can also be vinified alone, as in the Loire's Chinon.
