This needs more time. Lovely spice and red fruit aromatics, and a solid acidic structure. The tannins are still very obviously present. The next day this really has opened up and shows more complexity on the nose, along with a silky texture, backed by excellent acidity. Lovely, but leave the rest of 'em alone for a few years.

A spicy, red fruit nose. A bit grumpy to start, but unfurled over the course of a couple hours. Not amazing, but very nice. Purchased at Caves Madeleine (Beaune) in 2012.

Don't know the specifics of your attempts to visit, but bear in mind that Ray is often not available (out of the country, etc.), so it's a good idea to make arrangements well in advance.

To my palate, Joguet makes a terrific Chinon rosé, and this one is no exception. Sort of a peachy strawberry quality. Good acidity. Solid.
