Description

Chalk soil on the slope up to the plateau above the town of Chinon gives this organic wine its mineral texture, which is allied to great fruit and spice. Wood aging lends generous, ripe tannins, the layers of black fruits are impressive and have aged well

Domaine Olga Raffault

Domaine Olga Raffault has been transmitting its know-how in the production Chinon wines for five generations. Matriarch of the eponymously named estate, Olga Raffault, devoted her whole life to these landscapes that she loved so much, and it was her passion to share the unfettered fruits of her home through naturally made wines. It is this legacy that is carried on today by her granddaughter, Sylvie, who continues to share her grandmother’s cuvées with engaged oenophiles across the world.

Loire Valley

The Loire Valley in France is a prestigious wine region renowned for its diverse wines and picturesque landscapes. Stretching along the Loire River, it benefits from a varied climate and a range of soil types, ideal for viticulture. It is particularly famous for its white wines, including the crisp and mineral-rich Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, and the aromatic Chenin Blanc from Vouvray and Saumur. The area also produces excellent reds, such as the light and fruity Cabernet Franc from Chinon and Bourgueil. Rosé and sparkling wines, like Crémant de Loire, add to the diversity of the region. With its rich winemaking heritage, varied terroirs, and high-quality wines, the Loire Valley offers an exceptional experience for wine enthusiasts seeking both classic and innovative wines.
