NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Philippe Alliet Chinon Rouge is a dark ruby red in hue, with aromas of black cherries, black raspberries, and subtle hints of herbal spices.On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, with bright acidity and delicate tannins. Flavors of dark red and black fruits, earthy spices, and a hint of smoke linger on the finish. An excellent expression of the Chinon terroir, this is a balanced and enjoyable wine with great length.
