2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
" Favorite in the previous Guide with his moulin-à-vent Chassignol 2017, Maxime Troncy confirms his (very) good dispositions and signs a "simple" Beaujolais that is anything but simplistic. A cuvée born of venerable 70-year-old vines planted on a hillside once home to a Roman oppidum. Aged for 8 months in oak, it reveals intense, generous aromas of black fruits, sweet spices, toast and Zan. On the palate? Volume, concentration, fleshiness and velvety tannins wrapped in ripe fruit and well-tuned oak. Character. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)
