Chinon and Saumur

plenty of edgy red fruit and impressive delineation on the finish that shows focus and length

The first fully biodynamic vintage from this estate has certainly yielded impressive ripe fruit

Piedlong Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France 2021 Thrace Chinon and SaumurI love the ripe red plum aroma of this generous and polished 2021. Stacks of fine tannins give it a very sensuous texture that makes it difficult to say no. Very long, velvety finish with excellent spicy complexity. From grenache growing on galet cobblestone soil and a small amount of mourvedre grown on sand that are fermented separately. Drink or hold. 94 Pts James Suckling
