Olga Raffault Chinon Les Barnabes 2022
A Chinon that been moulded by the Loire's alluvial deposits and the Vienne's gravel in the area surrounding Savigny-en-Véron. After steeping the uncrushed grapes, the must is gently raised to 25°C to release its primary aromas. This vintage's nose give us floral and fruity aromas that are very crisp and more specifically with notes of violet and raspberry. The palate has very supple tannins and the crispness of the fruit takes precedence.
Critical Acclaim
91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Aromas of violet, spring flowers and dark wild berries preface the 2022 Chinon Les Barnabés, a moderately weighted, juicy and enveloping wine with a seamless, enveloping texture that segues into a delicate finish thanks to velvety tannins. This is a fine Cabernet Franc that offers nuanced complexity.
