Our committee's review
Annick and Francis Jourdan set down roots in Chinon just a decade ago—and since then, their reputation has only grown, driven by talent, dedication, and a clear vision.
Their 17 hectares, stretching from the plains along the Vienne River to the slopes of Cravant, are farmed biodynamically and vinified with precision. Each wine is a focused, pure expression of its terroir—thoughtful, clean, and deeply rooted in place.
These two outstanding wines—available at 30% off the estate price—are not to be missed. Exclusively on VALAP!
Still in its youth, the 2021 Chinon Les Varesnes Red opens with dark fruit aromas and refined graphite notes. The palate is concentrated and beautifully ripe, with firm, structured tannins that promise excellent aging potential. A finely made wine to enjoy over the next 6 to 8 years—decanting recommended if drinking now. Rated 92/100 by our Selection Committee.
The 2019 Chinon L’Arcestrale Red showcases ripe, delicate fruit layered with intense graphite notes, followed by an abundance of dark fruit flavours. True to the character of Cabernet Franc, the palate is structured and full-bodied, with firm tannins that will soften beautifully with decanting or a few more years in the cellar—aging potential extends up to a decade. A vibrant, expressive take on Chinon. Rated 93/100 and a Selection Committee favorite.
