Jean Maurice Raffault "Les Galuches" Chinon Cabernet Franc 2020
The Raffault family began cultivating vines in Chinon 14 generations ago, when their ancestor, Mathurin Bottreau, bought his first parcel of vines in 1693. Today, they owns 50 hectares of vines in 7 communes. The Cabernet Franc vines average 35 years of age and 10 hectares within these sites are 50 years of age.
The 100% Cabernet Franc comes from Les Galuches lieu-dit, an ancient river bed of the Loire. The name of parcel derives from the presence of gravel that allows the grapes to ripen very well on the sandy and gravel soils. Aged in 6 months in 500 liter double barriques, the wine is noted for its bouquet of violets, followed by lush and supple dark berry, cherry fruit. Bold, but with restrained tannins and balanced acidity. Well made wine.
