About

Rating:

91

"This has good depth, with a richness to the layers of damson plum, black cherry and red currant fruit, accented by notes of bouncy pepper, savory and olive. The finish lets a briar accent hang on. Should mellow with moderate cellaring. Drink now through 2018. 3,500 cases made. -J.M."

Product Description:

"A classic example of Chinon, reflecting the diversity of soils found in an array of parcels. Bertrand seeks power derived from the heavy clay parcels combined with the finesse and elegance imparted by sandy soils. The wine is highlighted by dark fruit, spice and soft-integrated tannins." -Importer
