Then the fruit arrives—not bold, but lithely insistent—a ribbon of wild red cherry and raspberry draped over crushed violets and a bramble of herbs de Provence, rosemary and bay lingering just behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"501\" data-end=\"981\"\u003eOn the palate it’s medium-bodied and agile, the tannins fine-grained yet woven with Chinon’s signature tensile energy, like threads of pale cassis and pomegranate skin tightening with each breath.
