OK, here are the tasting notes. Make of them what you will. There are really two types of Chinon in the world - the fuller style from the limestone slopes of this appellation and the lighter, scented style from vineyards on sand and gravel. This lovely wine is very much the latter, which means is it juicy, silky and easy to drink right now and can even be popped on ice or into the fridge for 10-20 minutes before you do so. Jacques, Bertrand and Arnaud Couly run this family Domaine, established in 1921 and now considered to be the leading producer in the appellation. They used to buy in some grapes but now only make wines from what they grow themselves on their 90 hectares. Unpretentious but by no means simplistic, this wine is a juicy delight to drink. Good with: a red which will go with fish as well as cold meats and small game birds.
