Pleasant surprise, indeed. Funky Chinon nose, but fresh, raspberry almost strawberry nose. Great acidity in the mouth, reminds one of older-styled CdRs, with pepper and minerals. Short, refreshing finish.

Elegant, earthy of limestone terroir and minerally flavors. Juicy fruits and very quaffable with a great QPR! Terrific with a roasted duck, squash and a barley mushroom dish with the Chinon enhancing food and vice versa. Pleasant surprise!

Still like the dirty schisty minerality of this wine

Savage. rustic, mineral, not much length or depth but great nose and flavor through the mid palate. Solid QPR with different notes but yum- yum

Ripe and balanced. Good fruit with some attractive smokiness to it.
