Jean-Maurice Raffault, Chinon Le Puy 36 mois 2016

Aged in new barrels for three years and bottled unfiltered, the 2016 Chinon Le Puy 36 mois boasts a dark cherry color and an intense nose of perfectly ripe dark berries mingled with toast, mocha, and fresh, flinty notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied, round, and juicy, presenting a remarkably elegant and refined texture. The finish is vibrant and tense, with firm and vital tannins that leave a clear palate.
