Tasting note

A blend of two blocks with vines dating back to 1943, the 2020 Chinon Pierre de Tuf delivers a sweet caress that immediately appeals, while the clay topsoil puts flesh on the bones. The low yields are evident in this wine's intensity, but it retains a lightness of touch, easing its way along elegantly. Gentle acidity and fine-grained tannins provide grip and texture on the long, perfumed finish.

Score: 91-93
