Was absolutely smitten with Olga Raffault's '08 Chinon Les Picasses last night. Light but fresh rather than ethereal, bags of savoury, earthy character but in no way lacking in juicy fruit either.
I know very little about Chinon, having bought this in France after remembering it being recommended here (by Mr Carrington I believe). But after getting so much enjoyment and such extraordinary value for money out of last night's bottle, I've resolved to investigate more thoroughly.
Who are your favourite producers?
And additionally, what are your thoughts on the ageing potential of Loire reds in general?
