The 2018 Chinon Les Petites Roches is a blend of the fruits from different plots located on the left bank of the Vienne River, all with the same soil profile, which is predominantly clay and moderately chalky. The wine opens spicy and fresh, with floral-scented red fruit aromas. Silky, fresh and very elegant on the palate, with a silky texture and perfectly ripe and finely tannic fruit, this is a concentrated and quite intense medium to full-bodied red with a nice, persistent mineral structure and tart fruit on the finish. Tasted in June 2021. Stephan Reinhardt
