The estate and the wine |
|
|
Philippe Alliet is a model winemaker with 2 stars in the RVF Green Guide. He consistently produces long-macerated red wines with dazzling aromas of fruit and good maturity. These sought-after bottles have become benchmarks in the Chinon appellation and, in recent vintages, have shown an increasingly fresh and natural style.
The beautiful Cravant hillsides contribute greatly to this: these magical terroirs produce a Cabernet Franc that is full of precision and flavor, easily rivaling the greatest expressions of Bordeaux. |

The 2020 Red Chinon Vieilles Vignes expresses all the strength of the vintage, finely tamed by a very fresh palate. There is always this impeccable tannic definition, where the winemaker manages to civilize the natural austerity of Chinon Cabernet without denying its fresh character with a natural finesse of texture. It is a deep and complex wine, which is already accessible today. Rated 92/100 RVF and 93+/100 by the Committee. |
