This is a pretty, youthful cabernet franc, but it doesn't have the weight and depth I expect from Chinon. Nor is it...

A bright cherry, flavourful Chinon but thin and acidic. Fruit feels ripened but also flattened and lacking dimension....

A fairly classic Chinon, on the lighter side so likely little or no Cabernet Sauvignon (up to 10% permitted) in this Cabernet Franc wine.
Medium-purple & ruby in colour, medium intensity. A nose of black fruit (though not jammy) and savoury notes; dried herbs, touch of tobacco, and a spicy red liquorice.
Medium-plus acid, it's refreshing on the palate and follows through with similar fruits and herbal characteristics. Finish is medium-plus, with pepper and a hint of vegetal.
Tasted January 2015.
