About Chinon Wines

Chinon built its name on Cabernet Franc, grown on gravel terraces and limestone slopes above the Vienne. The reds range from light and peppery to structured bottlings that age gracefully for twenty years or more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Chinon taste like?

Expect raspberry, graphite and a leafy freshness. Warmer vintages push toward darker fruit and firmer tannin.

How does Chinon compare to nearby appellations?

It shares a border and a grape with Bourgueil, though Chinon tends to feel a touch rounder. Both sit within the wider Touraine zone.

Can I sell my Chinon collection?

We buy Loire reds in any quantity. Reach out for an appraisal.
