Last night was the 2012 Chais Saint-Laurent La Vigne en Véron Chinon.

On the nose there was strawberry, cherry, raspberry, plum, roasted red pepper and crushed gravel.

On yhe palate there is strawberry, tart cherry, raspberry, green bell pepper and crushed gravel.

This wine is medium bodied with medium acidity and medium fine tannins that gives us a medium tart red fruit finish. A nice wine but not a favorit Loire Cab Franc. Have a wonderful weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷

Light and earthy. Not tannic at all. Easy.

Good value but wasn't blown away. Would have liked it with more acidity--a little too soft for me.

Great cab franc for the price. A tiny bit of dry and fruit

Basically tastes like a chinon in a random Paris café.
