A Chenin Blanc from the Chinon AOP, this wine has white flowers, peaches, melon and green apple aromas. The medium-high acidity is keen yet the palate rich, round and lasting. — 8 years ago

30+ minute decant. Dark red color. French terroir, bell pepper, and green elements on the nose. Wine has close to zero fruit, but an abundance of spice and vegetable flavors. Medium finish. Awesome QPR. — 4 years ago

Domaine Fabrice Gasnier

Chinon Vieilles Vignes Cabernet Franc 2017

Needs a couple of days open for the brett-stink to settle down. Afterwards, it’s raspberry, wrapper leaf and an appropriate and savory Cab Franc stemminess. This may be something special in a few years. — 5 years ago

Classic, rustic cab franc. The slightly warm vintage shows here by pushing the vegetal flavors behind lots of red and black fruit. Needs food. — 8 years ago
