"Lemon, honey and hay on the nose of this creamy and layered white. Apricots and peaches, too. It's full bodied, bright and dry, but with delicious honeycomb notes. 2,000 bottles made. Drink now."

"Philippe Alliet has produced a clean, pure 2023 Tradition, offering aromas of dark wild berries, licorice, coniferous forest and cedar, followed by a moderately weighted, tense and elegant palate that is framed by powdery tannins and fine acidity, concluding with a fine-sculpted finish. It's easy to drink, pleasant and super affordable. Matured in concrete tanks."

"Juicy, lively, red- and blackberry and cherry fruit. Approachable already, a sophisticated introduction to Alliet's Chinon range. Well priced. (AWH)"
