This is the best I can do! It is rather general eh. Others might have a better lay-out. I will email Jim Budd.

I'll just say that I have really loved Muscadet from 2002, 2005 and 2007; Vouvray/Montlouis from 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2007; and Savennieres from 2002 and 2005 (so far). I don't know enough about Chinon to comment.

A quick, minor gripe before I get to the wine. I wish Chidaine would use the Sec, Demi-Sec nomenclature on the wines.

Really nice. Full flavored fruit with a tight acidic bite and a suave, classy burnt oak profile. Some green herbal notes and a compact acidic finish with a hint of flowers. Overall very pretty and enjoyable, full of class. This is a wine I would drink all the time for this price.

Think of the incense in a Catholic church.
