This 2006 Touraine Loire valley red was quite a treat. Very perfumed, fuller bodied than a pinot noir and with a hint of northern France farmyard. The grape is a relative of pinot noir (and also called locally chenin noir) and is local to the Loire.

Francois Chidane is a great talent. I will source some of this and have mailed Sinead Mallozzi, CEO of Sketch, to get the details of his supplier.
