The second consumed the next day demonstrates that regions despised a generation ago as producing no more than "country wines" can now trade punches successfully with GC Bordeaux.

Sure, the question is always how deep those regions can go in their competitive offerings.
I suppose the other factor is that styles have changed in Bordeaux since earlier generations, further complicating the comparison.
I've been away from both Bordeaux and Chinon for a while, may get a chance to taste a few in the upcoming weeks. When I did drink them more regularly I preferred the Chinon for freshness, but there was no doubt that they also tended more rustic.
