A ruby-purple color for this Chinon Tradition, with a rich, complex, well-defined aromatic palette of ripe fruit. The palate is well-balanced, with a subtle hint of gravelly aromas in a fairly tannic profile... Best served with red meat!

Domaine Pierre Sourdais
Chinon
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Established since 1981 on part of the family estate in Cravant-les-Coteaux, Pierre Sourdais manages his 27 hectares of vines using organic farming methods, with terroirs on the plains and others on the hillsides. The reserve-stanislas and les-boulaies cuvées are the ones to look for first, as they give the wines with the best tannic structure and ageing potential.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
It was at Moulin-à-Tan that oak bark used to be crushed for hide processing in the region's many tanneries. Today, the old mill has given way to a 27-hectare vineyard run organically by Pierre Sourdais, who is gradually handing over the reins to his daughter Caroline and son-in-law Sylvain. A sure bet in the Chinon region.
