May not have the character of say a Baudry or Raffault Chinon, but still a profoundly true-to-terroir Chinon with all that fine grained dark berry earthiness, low on the funko-meter, & just plain ol’ low alcohol fun. Paired with brunch cheesy egg casserole of Gruyère, nutmeg, Parmesan etc that soaks overnight in Half & Half. — 2 years ago

Violet, mushroom, green olive, raspberry. Juicy on the palate. Red fruit and bright acidity with soft, smooth tannins. Lingering olive and raspberry. Lovely, drinkable stuff. Almost like a love child of Syrah and Pinot Noir. — 3 months ago
Super delicious; a tad on the sweeter side. Strawberry and stone fruit with a lite minerality. Revision: paired with hard boiled quail eggs—brought out a creaminess to the wine. Sooo goood. — 5 months ago
