The 2022 Clos du Noyer is sleek, intensely concentrated and full of substance. People who like ripe fruit will enjoy its richness without weight or alcohol (it's only 13%). The year before this was made, almost two-thirds of the vines were pulled out, leaving only very old vines. The result has real purpose, like Superman sticking his arms out as he flies. There's a sense of drive here while the tannins are honed. This is quality stuff.

Complex and dense, the 2022 Chinon Clos du Noyer reveals aromas of iris, violet, flowers, spices, mulberries and dark wild berries. Medium to full-bodied, delicate and fresh with a concentrated mid-palate and a dense but delicate core of fruit, it’s perfectly balanced with velvety tannins, concluding with a long, precise, saline finish framed by chalky dry extracts. It will offer a broad drinking window.
