Dom Les Chesnaies CHINON 1999

Apr 23, 2004 0 Replies

I wasn't sure when I picked this out tonight, 1999 getting long in the tooth? NOT. Though it does not have as much aplle forward as a Vouvray this Chinin based wine has an elegant mouth and a longish finish with a nice touch of citrus that goes exceedingly well with tonight's dinner, a baked grouper with a white wine sauce (infused with green onions and garlic) accompanied by boiled red potatoes and asparagus. The only problem was that we ran out of everything :-(



This is definitely a wine worth going back for as Dale might say a definite B maybe B+. and IIRC a good QPR under 12 USD.
