Typical for chinon and simply lovely. Sloe, blackcurrant, blueberry, leafy/minty herbality, wood shavings and green bell pepper. Slightly youthful still. — 6 years ago

Полевые цветы, акация, тончайший бензольный тон, белый персик, яблоки, лайм, галечная минеральность, при нагревании тонкие намёки на миндаль. Активная, но сбалансированная кислотность. Акцент на цветочно-фруктовые ноты, с неплохой структурой. На второй день немного упрощается. — 8 years ago

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

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

Yum! I love the rose season. This is a clean, crisp rose... I would drink it anytime from April thru September. It reminds us of our trip thru the Loire Valley. — 8 years ago

Robe rouge clair trouble
Le nez est assez variétal. Le cabernet ne fait pas l’ombre d’un doute
Ensuite, la bouche est fondue, fraiche. C’est délicat, élégant, subtil….
Pour autant la fin de bouche tombe rapidement, pas un grand terroir ?
Sur le fruit rouge, très nerveux mais j’aurai aimé du havane, du tabac….
Jolie bouteille mais pas grande bouteille, pas de doute Dioterie est plus grand et la varenne est plutôt dans le registre de la friandise acidulée — 8 years ago

Definitely Loire Cab Franc here. Tobacco and forest floor. I dig it but it's not for everyone — 8 years ago
