Domaine Philippe Alliet Chinon L’Huisserie 2018

“Chinon L’Huisserie 2018 is full of silex (limestone and flint). Aromas and flavors of berries and cherries throughout, underlain by a note of earthy clay. Bright and juicy on the palate, with a touch of savoriness at the midpalate, and soft crushed stone at the edges, culminating in an intense finish of asphalt and pepper. There’s a lot of rambunctious energy and juiciness, and it will be fascinating to see how this one ages. Aged one year in older barrique, then in cement for six months.” – Jason Wilson, Vinous
