fertile loam and cigar box with a waft of sandalwood

“Les Georges” is classic Chinon in its marriage of vibrant fruit

accented by an aromatic skein of lime blossom

Full and round on the palate

I like the floral character

The texture is rich and surprisingly dense for the appellation, with a velvety feel that is very luxurious. On the finish, the tannin becomes evident. While this should drink reasonably early, it is a wine that will improve with cellaring. It is produced from more than a hectare of south facing vines planted in clay soils with limestone scree from the combe dOrange. 92 Pts Decanter
