From grapes grown in Beaumont en Véron on the so-called Picasse terroir on pure clay-limestone soils, the 2019 Chinon La Diablesse is based on the fruit of 80-year-old vines. Naturally fermented in concrete and aged in 400-liter barrels for 11 months before bottling, the unified and unfiltered red opens with a pure, intense and elegant nose with perfectly ripe elderberry aromas. Silky, crystalline, fresh and enormously vital, this is a full-bodied, intense and elegant Chinon from a 0.8-hectare plot. The wine has a lot of energy and tension but needs a couple of years to show its class, which is not based on power and intensity but freshness and purity of fruit.

Named after a distant relative with a fiery nature named 'La Diablesse' (the she-devil). Made from a tiny 0.8ha plot of 80+ year-old vines in the famed Les Picasses vineyard. This small parcel has a north facing exposition giving a finer fresher aspect to the terrific old vine intensity. Vinified in cement tank with indigenous yeast and then aged in mostly older 400 litre barrels (20% new) for 11 months before bottling unfined and unfiltered. This is beautifully pure and finely boned with real persistence and depth and very fine structure with gentle tannins and great expression of classic Chinon character. Intense yet very refined. A totally brilliant Chinon that can be enjoyed now or cellared with confidence.
