Tasting notes
From a 2-ha site planted in 2001 on clay-flint. Aged two years in a combination of 500-litre wood and concrete. Salty edge, refined on the palate. Dark and concentrated with plenty of purity. Lively acidity and fresh, leafy tannins – a grown-up Cabernet Franc. (AWH)

If the Vieilles Vignes is elegant and refined, the 2022 Chinon L'Huisserie, already in barrels, is more round and structured. Offering up a floral bouquet of peony, iris and violet intertwined with dark wild berries, it’s medium to full-bodied, precise and pure with a textural attack and powdery tannins, segueing into a penetrating, mineral finish. It will offer a broad drinking window. This multidimensional wine should turn out very well after the élevages and for the 10 to 20 years to come.
