Philippe Alliet L'Huisserie 2016

Red
Chinon, France
6.5
WineSaint

Austere and knife-edged, with tart red fruit and wet stone minerality cutting through the palate. The flint soils deliver a steely backbone that dominates the wine's lean frame. Uncompromising in its severity, this demands food or serious cellaring to soften its sharp angles.
