Philippe Alliet Chinon Red

100% Cabernet Franc.

From sandy soils and fermented and aged in cement until the bottling, the 2017 Chinon offers a beautifully elegant, aromatic and spicy bouquet of dark fruits. Fresh and elegant on the silky-textured palate, this is a very delicate and refreshing Cabernet Franc with lingering floral flavors of violets. Very nice freshness. Excellent.

Father-son team Philippe and Pierre Alliet are the proprietors of this small domaine in Cravant-les-Côteaux, home to some of the best Cabernet Franc vineyards in the Loire Valley. Considered by many to be one of the finest producers in Chinon, the Alliets are part of a new generation of Loire winemakers dedicated to low yields, optimally ripe fruit, and fastidious vineyard management. From their 12-hectare domaine, they produce a stunning lineup of 100% Cabernet Franc wines. The grapes are totally de-stemmed in an effort to reduce the vegetal characteristics often associated with Loire Valley reds and only indigenous yeasts are used in the cellar. Each year, this domaine raises the bar for what is possible with Cabernet Franc in Chinon. They effortlessly display the privileged terroir and winemaking excellence that their family possesses, while also maintaining a deliciousness that allows the wines to be enjoyed young or after decades of aging.
