Domaine Olga Raffault 'La Fraich' Chinon, 2023

100% Cabernet Franc. Pair it with a roasted chicken and your favorite seasonal veggies. 2022 is the first vintage for the new entry-level Chinon from Raffault. The fruit comes from very young vines in sandy, flat parcels near the winery not far from the the Vienne River. The farming is certified-organic and the harvest is manual. The berries are destemmed but not crushed and fermented with native yeasts in tank with a maceration of about 15 days. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for about 6 months before bottling. This vin de soif has a pretty and playful label that complements its style perfectly.
