2019 Philippe Alliet Chinon Coteau de Noire Beaune Maybe they are carrying a93 points, Vinous "The 2019 Coteau de Noir is such a seductive mouthful of Cabernet Franc with huge density and roundness, yet it remains marvelously elegant. A very complex, barrel aged style that offers silken texture, black fruit and black olive. It's a little tight and closed t the moment but it's all there the concentration, the resolved but abundant chalky tannins, and it just needs time to blossom. Fragrant finish."
