"The 2018 Les Picasses offers ripeness alongside finesse and elegance. Sourced from a 35-year-old vineyard on clay-limestone, it offers a gently creamy mid-palate while remaining delicate in texture. Ripe strawberry fruit flavors meet wild herbs and the very merest note of pepper on the palate. Certainly now entering a drinking window, there is plenty of room in terms of both flavor development and its finely woven texture to allow this to develop over the coming decade."
Winemaker Notes:
"Les Picasses is the most famous Chinon lieu-dit, close to the village of Beaumont-En-Véron on the north bank of the Vienne River. It is a slope with full southern exposure and chalky clay-limestone soils."
Alcohol: 13%
