The estate and the wine |
|
|
Biodynamics, old vines, and a fiery terroir: Sandrine and Fabrice Gasnier lead an elite production in Chinon, based in Cravant-les-Coteaux, a coveted area known for its light clay and limestone soils. Their wines showcase a remarkable mineral depth, combining power and elegance, with delicate, easily drinkable textures, staying true to the tradition of great Loire Valley wines. |

A favorite of the Selection Committee, rated 94/100, the 2022 red Chinon Pierres Chaudes combines all the right elements. The subtly perfumed nose, with aromas of graphite, dark fruits, and peppercorn, opens the tasting with finesse and richness. The palate is highly refined, with a silky and velvety texture, offering a full, dynamic, and elegant juice, while maintaining a low alcohol content. A delight to enjoy within two to three years and over the next decade. |
