From the excellent 2022 vintage, this lovely Chinon delivers the goods! Deep purple colour. To enhance the dark berry aromas and animal, vegetal and floral hints, I recommend you decant (to oxygenate) this red an hour before. Quite rich with ripe velvety tannins, it will age favourably 5 to 8 years. Medium to full bodied with good extract and length, try this tasty organic Chinon with a grilled shank steak with shallots. Enjoy !
