From the ancient tuffeau soils of Chinon, Olga Raffault’s Les Barnabés 2021 emerges, a Cabernet Franc with the quiet confidence of old vines. Imagine wild raspberries and blackcurrants picked at dawn, mingled with the earthy scent of a secret garden. On the palate, it's elegant and balanced, with a whisper of liquorice and a distinctive mineral echo. This is Chinon that feels like a conversation with a fascinating stranger – subtle, intriguing, and utterly captivating. It’s the kind of bottle you’ll want to linger over, discovering new depths with every sip.
