Clos du Chêne Vert 1994
Clos du Chêne Vert (Chinon red wine) |

Tasting notes
The only successful cuvée in 1994, thanks to this vineyard's special microclimate.
It is still very vegetal, but reserves some surprises, with prunes and cooked fruit.

Comment on the vintage and the
1994 harvest
Frost attacked 50% of the vines, in addition to a rainswept September…
Rot spread across the vines that had resisted, and caused losses to the tune of around 75%: harvesting, which started on 10 October, proved difficult, with very average results. |
