"The 2022 Chénas Les Deschamps is quite backward on the nose but unwinds with aeration bringing smoke-tinged red fruit, wild hedgerow and a touch of iris petal. The palate is well-balanced with sappy red fruit and pliant tannins. Crisp and taut with a tensile, peppery finish. There's a lot going on in this Chénas. Excellent." -NM, Mar/2023
