Approachable, tart red fruit. Soft earth and pepper. Youthful acidic backbone. Good entry to chinon, but for a little more cash you can think a lot more from one of the top producers.

Tart, acidic, earthy and a whole lotta other things going on in the mouthfeel. Don't think too much, drink casually.
