With no skin contact, just pressing, the 2021 Rosé Chinon is a totally dry, firm and direct style leaving no compromise. Fermented in cement but left on lees with no sulphur added, there's a hint of oxidative character. The ose presents a nutty, pastry note as well as dried apples alongside subtle red fruit. A savory, pale salmon-hued rosé with some phenolic firmness. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, August 2022)
