Almost 3 years since my last bottle of this and my notes are very different. Thought this would be drinking well now but it’s still tight on open. Bright ruby colored, big red cherry and tobacco nose. Red fruit, earthy, tight. — 3 months ago

Jack and Jamie Davies revived the historic vineyards and cellars in 1965. Today, their son Hugh, continues their mission. 100% Chardonnay pale straw color with aromas of stone fruits, floral and citrus notes. A terrific crisp sparkler with crisp apple, peach and lemon flavors, fine mousse with tiny bubbles. Tangy acidity on a long finish ending with a yeasty creamy character. Nice! — 8 months ago

Pale dress. Duel relationship between fresh acidic fruits (coing, green apple, white peach) and breeding bringing roundness and fat. (Oak, butter, hazelnut). The interstice connecting the two is occupied by vegetable notes (straw, white flowers, honeysuckle, beeswax). Typically as with the Chenins de Loire, saline acidity is high, counterbalancing the 14 degrees of alcohol here. Needs a décantation to give all its relief. Do not serve too cold, (10-12°). Gastronomic!

Robe pâle. Rapport duel entre fruits frais acides (Coing, pomme verte golden, pêche blanche) et élevage apportant rondeur et gras. (Chêne, beurre, noisette). L’interstice reliant les deux étant occupé par des notes végétales (paille, fleurs blanches, chèvrefeuille, cire d’abeille). Typiquement comme avec les Chenins de Loire, l’acidité saline est élevée contrebalançant ici les 14 degrés d’alcool. A besoin de prendre l’air pour donner tout son relief. Ne pas servir trop froid, (10-12°). — 3 years ago

The pro ratings got it right. A good wine that adds a lot to dinner. Not an elite wine, but it’s not trying to be. — 3 months ago

Vintage 2023 | this family run domaine in Panzoult - since 1953 - has 27 hectares. Son Pierre has entered the company and he is an advocate for Chinon red wine. So he features as Superman in a label, modern marketing with a wink. Very energetic red. — 4 months ago

We had this a few days ago and I misplaced my notes. Citrus mineral and intensity I recall. Probably committing infanticide drinking this now but there were good reasons to. Firstly our son and wife plus our daughter home for Christmas from New York and secondly my retirement after 53 years at McDonald Group. — a year ago

Big fruit balanced by earthiness. Spicy, substantial. Nose of tar and wet kangaroo. Solid. — 2 years ago
