Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 10, 2019 - The first evening, I thought this was the first Chinon I've tasted that I could really love. It offered a kind of vaporizing acidity on entry and at the back end, sandwiching in-between a wafer-like pulse of sweet, red fruit, that cosseted the palate and contrasted delightfully. Nary a hint of green or woodiness, which is also new for me in these wines. You could catch a glimpse of what Rougeard does with the variety from this bottle.

The wine seemed to tire more quickly after the first day than I expected, so not sure what it's remaining longevity will be like. Will need to open another soon, or a 2009, to better gauge.
