ALAIN LORIEUX CHINON EXPRESSION 2017

Finally, I’ve found a red from the Loire that expresses the depth and deliciousness of this incredible region.

Over the last little while, I’ve ran into a lot of plonky reds from the Loire, but this one… THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR.

Juicy raspberry, sweet 🍒 , strawberry 🍓 compote, those dried leaf 🍂 and bundle of twigs notes characteristic of cooler climate cab francs, vanilla, light touch of French oak, topped off with velvety smooth tannins. Medium + finish, medium body, acidity is kept well in balance. So so good. 🤤

If you want to know what Chinon is all about, pick up this bottle!! #cabernetfrancday
