What reviewers say
“100% stainless steel. Some “reduction” which is sulfur (rotten eggs) but blows off in a few min. Red and wild berries, smooth, cherry, red flowers, dry but ripe fruit, earthy barnyard a smidge (from reduction). Black fruit and red fruit that give off a decent ripeness, even though at the same time the wine is rather dry. Can’t explain it! A bit of vegetal or green bell pepper note at the very back of the throat. Nice long legs. Nice not having the oakiness in such a fruity wine.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Château du Petit Thouars Les Georges Chinon is Cabernet Franc grown in Chinon, bottled as a red. At $26.99 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the $15–30 band.
The calibrated figure is built from 360 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 368 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,133 other reds from France, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Château du Petit Thouars Les Georges Chinon lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · France (1,134 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 360.
