"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)"

"Oooh, this snaps your fingers off. Box leaf and holly. Brightly bitter, wintery, curt tannins. Crunchingly muscular. (TC)"
