Philippe Alliet Chinon Coteau de Noiré 2009

Chinon, France

WineSaint
Rich and plush with dark fruit intensity that borders on jammy. Tobacco and baking spice notes add complexity to the generous palate. The texture is round and approachable, though it lacks the mineral backbone that defines Loire's best. Ready now, but won't improve with age.
