Domaine Olga Raffault's Les Picasses Chinon is a standout example of the potential of the Cabernet Franc grape in the Loire Valley. The wine hails from the Les Picasses vineyard, one of the most revered sites in the Chinon appellation, known for its exceptional terroir featuring clay-limestone soils over a limestone base. This family-run estate, overseen for decades by Olga Raffault and now by her descendants, employs traditional viticulture methods and is committed to organic farming practices. The wine is fermented using native yeasts and aged in old oak barrels, preserving the natural expression of the fruit and terroir. The resulting Chinon is both robust and elegant, with a complex bouquet of dark fruits, bell pepper, and earthy undertones. Its firm tannins and balanced acidity provide excellent aging potential, though the wine is also approachable in its youth.

From the oldest vines of the domaine, surrounding the quaint village of Chaintres and extending to the neighboring towns of Dampierre sur Loire, Varrains, and Chacé, this remarkable Cabernet Franc emerges. The soil, a blend of clay and limestone, imparts an unexpected softness and velvety texture to this wine, traditionally known for its density. The initial taste reveals ripe cherries and plums, underscored by an earthy, salty minerality and robust tannic presence. This wine combines the sensuality of a rich Pinot Noir with the wild touch of a Mas Amiel from the high altitudes of Roussillon and the biodynamic depth of Foradori's Teroldego. A beautifully accessible, velvety-charming drinking experience.
