Domaine Gouron Chinon Rouge 2020 (750ml) Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Simone was a force ofThis is a very fine example of chinon and from a very good vintage. Made, of course, entirely of cabernet franc, it shows solid and complex aromatics that introduce a palate where classic cabernet franc flavours are well layered and delicious.
