Ageing potential: 2024 - 2040

Tasted by Yohan Castaing in 2024: ‘Complex and dense, the Chinon Clos du Noyer 2022 reveals aromas of iris, violet, flowers, spices, blackberries and dark wild berries. Fairly full-bodied, delicate and fresh, with a concentrated mid-palate and a dense but delicate core of fruit, it is perfectly balanced by velvety tannins and finishes with a long, saline and precise finish, framed by chalky dry extracts. It offers a wide drinking window.’
