Classic Chinon. Herbal, tart black fruit, dusty chalk and wet stone minerality. 12.5 abv so a great choice for summer if you put a bit of a chill on it.

Granite and blue fruit. Bright acid. A tasty tipple.

This guy in the funny hat again! Smells more ripe, tasted less ripe. George says "fresh cut licorice grass" so we'll pretend that's a real thing. #chinon #cabernetfranc

Plums black fruit. A bit of chalky notes. Very drinkable.
