2015 Chinon Clos des Chene Vert

The 2015 Chinon Clos du Chêne Vert is a Right Bank Cabernet Franc from the west part of Chinon. The vineyard is west/southwest-facing and located on clay sandstone. This has a beautifully fragrant, floral and elegant bouquet of perfectly ripe dark and red fruits (wild strawberries). This is ripe and sweet yet with delicate concentration, great finesse and a Bordeaux character. Silky textured and smooth, with very elegant juice and remarkable finesse, this is a very persistent, fresh and tensioned Chinon with great aging potential. Aged for one year in 228- and (increasingly) 400-liter French barriques plus another year in tank.
