No, there are no dogs involved in this, apart from the label picture. The name comes from the parcel of hillside vines. It’s a soft, ripe and rich wine, a veritable velvet parcel, all fine tannins and richness, along with fresh acidity. Give this wine two years before drinking.

There aren’t many white wines made in Chinon. But this, made from Chenin Blanc, suggests there should be some more. It is full of attractive peach flavors, with a young, fresh lift, floating with bitter almonds. The texture is good, round and rich.

This wine is dense, flavored with black cherries and fresh acidity over a smooth, silky texture. It is not as powerful as the 2003, but is ready to drink; a pleasurable, very food-friendly wine.

Juicy white currant aromas, very floral. The taste is soft, with a lightly oily texture alongside, flavors of white peaches and almonds, held together with a green fruit skin texture.

This wine is named after the tufa, limestone rock (pierre in French) which is so typical of the Chinon region. This wine suffers from some vegetal characters, due to the cool year. There is structure, but the flavors are dominated by smoky wood and lean tannins.

Fresh, slightly sweet, with some easy tannic structure, this strawberry-flavored rosé is for apéritifs. There’s a light touch of spice to give extra interest.

Lightly smoky, aromatic wine, with flavors of black berry fruits, spice, dry tannins and some wood. This has delicate, juicy dark fruit flavors, tempered with this dry undertone. To finish, there is lively acidity.
