Critics Ratings
Philippe Alliet Chinon Vieilles Vignes 2018
"The 2018 Chinon Les Vieilles Vignes is made in a round, soft and easy-to-like style that gives your palate a relaxation session. It delivers good volume with a low level of tannins that are fine and gravelly in texture. The savory, aromatic finish reveals the merest hint of leather and woodsmoke." - Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous (Aug 2021)
"Crimson. Lively, evolved and ready to enjoy; but still more expensive than some similar examples." - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Nov 2024)
