Domaine Olga Raffault Les Barnabés Chinon, 750ml
| Description: | A dominant 100% Cabernet Franc, Les Barnabés stands out among Raffault's other prominent sites, Les Picasses and Les Peuilles, both located in the Véron region but further to the west, resting on a plain of alluvial soils near the Loire River. Due to its sandy, gravelly terrain, this site produces a lighter style of Cabernet Franc that is more approachable when young, in contrast to the other two. Like its counterparts, Barnabés is sourced from organically farmed fruit, harvested by hand, destemmed but not crushed, and naturally fermented in tank. The cool fermentation temperature and tank aging preserve the fruit's freshness and brightness, resulting in an earlier release compared to the other two reds. The nose offers fruity and floral aromas with a strong presence of fresh red fruits such as blackcurrant, raspberry, and violet. Type: Wine, Red Color: Ruby |
