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.
93-95 points, Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate (Jun 2024)
Black and purple berries on the nose, as well as tobacco, violets and dried chilis. It’s full-bodied and concentrated, showing a deep core of dark fruit framed by chalky, firm tannins. Concentrated Chinon. Cabernet franc. Drink from 2026.
