If you’re looking for the perfect house wine, you can thank me. Wild and free, this is such a classic Chinon that hits every single one of the notes.

Herbs, herbs, and more herbs on the nose to start with. That beautiful barnyard we all know and love. Celery and green bell pepper for days, just so nice. Wet dirt with blue and black berries and the faintest hint of leather.

Very very young and still a bit primary, this has good bones and is still ready to love you now. Needs decanting but after some time and air it shows well. Fresh and alive on the palate, this sings a lovely song. Blueberries and strawberry jam. A little olive tapenade, more mushrooms, and black pepper. This is my kind of wine, my kind of Chinon. — a month ago

Nose: cherry y flower and white flower. Pink roses. So elegant. So fleeting. So old school. Sweet pink roses as this opens.

Palate: so old school. Silky. Ephemeral early season cherries. Sweet but in a very silly and not obvious way.

Herve you rot was quite a winemaker. What a fucking waste.

Great, love Hervé’s wines! Been a while. Black, blue and red berries, medium-light bodied (12.5% abv) and very subtle effervescence on opening. Low tannins, young, long fresh finish, a little vegetal. Unfiltered. — 5 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black plums, cooked cherries, spices, light oak, licorice, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs and light black pepper.

Medium minus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime.

Interesting and easy drinking. Not too fruit forward and good by itself or with food.

On the way out, so drink up.

A blend of 50% Syrah, 20% Carignan, 20% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre.

15% alcohol by volume.

90 points.
