"The 2023 Chénas Vibrations is a blend of two terroirs, 50% raised in used barrels and 50% in concrete vats. This is a little reductive on the nose and would benefit from an hour's decant. Dark plum and briary scents with touches of sea spray enliven the nose. The palate is vibrant on the entry with crisp tannins, a hint of blackcurrant leaf and a dash of salt on the finish. This is a well-crafted, personality-driven Chénas." -Neal Martin
