2018 Chinon Le Clos, Bruno Sourdais

2018 Chinon Le Clos, Bruno Sourdais

This is made from various parcels of old vines that are all located on the hillsides, with good drainage. This is really benchmark Chinon, with smoky red fruits, a spicy, herbaceous character to the firm tannins, and mineral acidity. Serious structure for the money.

Serge et Bruno Sourdais

Chinon, an appellation in the Loire Valley, is responsible for some of France’s most drinkable and refreshing red wines. Bruno Sourdais, the sixth generation winemaker at this eponymous domaine, is making delicious, delicate Cabernet Franc which offers exceptional value for money. The emphasis here is on traditional winemaking with a careful approach in the vineyard and the wines all spending a little time in oak. In spite of the humble price tag for his wine, Bruno is rightly considered one of the top producers in the appellation.
