The grape variety (Cabernet Franc), is under-appreciated, comes to life with food and may under-perform at a wine tasting (where it stands alone). Chinon wines do not have a classification system (i.e., restrictions on the types of grapes that can be used to produce the wine), making it a relative relaxed free-for-all. There are no hierarchies among the over 200 vintners leaving the LIKES up to the individual as he/she sips away, trying to solve the mystery of Chinon wines. Although the area is noted for white wines, Chinon produces mostly red wine from Cabernet Franc and may include up to 10 percent Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. • 2020 Domaine Baudry, Chinon Rose.
