Community Tasting Notes (average 87 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by eboracum on 4/12/2024 & rated 87 points: I was expecting this 2022 to be riper and rounder than the 2021 but it seemed quite similar showing quite high tangy acidity, savoury tinged red beery fruit with touches of poivron leaving a slightly raw impression though not to the extent of effacing Chinon class. Quite good. (36 views)

2016 vintage:
"Quality and concentration is good, with Chenin Blanc being particularly noteworthy in 2016 while Sancerre is thought to be the best of the Sauvignon Blanc appellations. Cabernet Franc is 'delicious, ripe and fruity' according to Loire courtier Chris Hardy." - Jancis Roninson
