CHINON - Bertrand & Vincent MARCHESSEAU, Loire Valley, France

2025-08-16

This Chinon from Bertrand and Vincent Marchesseau, with its ruby colour and medium intensity, shows a nose of medium complexity offering subtle hints of tobacco without dominant primary or secondary aromas. On the palate, the medium-bodied wine presents a fine-grained texture, with medium acidity and dry sweetness, while the medium plus flavour intensity unfolds to reveal tobacco notes alongside a subtle dry finish of medium duration.
