Entry level Chinon from Baudry. Rustic, funky, vegetal elements on the nose, balanced out by big dark fruit on the palate. The 'barnyard' nose might not be attractive to all, but it's an undeniably fun and straightforward effort from this producer.

Is there a better wine for 18 dollars? (And it should be just about perfect in two years, if my recent experience with the 2010 is any indication.)

Pyrozene city. Still has a great fruit presence with a nice abundance of natural acidity. Foodie wine!

Would be my daily drinker if I lived in France at 9€/$12. So taut, so gravelly, so good. #LiveFromLoire

Heavy barnyard funk on the nose, followed by light cassis and cardamom spice. Thin mid palate, high tannin and medium high acidity. Fun wine but not particularly graceful.
