Cazin’s 2008 Cour-Cheverny – from the local Romorantin grape – strikingly mingles grapefruit, parsnip, toasted nuts, salt, and chalk in a bracing, juicy and distinctively piquant performance that holds your palate’s attention with admirable persistence. Combining dense concentration with brightness in a manner unique to its genre, this will evolve interestingly for at least the next half dozen years.
