Location: France, Loire, Chinon
Winemaker: Sylvie Raffault & Eric de la Vigerie
Grapes: Cabernet Franc
Soil: Sand
From the importer Louis/Dressner Selections: Since Olga's death, Domaine Olga Raffault is currently run by her granddaughter Sylvie and her husband Eric de la Vigerie.
The estate has terrific plots of land in the Savigny-en-Véron district, right by the Vienne riverbanks.
The winemaking is most traditional. The grapes are, of course, handpicked and fermented in stainless-steel. The wines are then aged in larger, neutral oak and sometimes chestnut - a traditional wood barrel in the region.
This is a newer cuvée from the Raffault estate, the first vintage being released in 2017. It’s a combination of estate and purchased fruit growing along the Vienne and Loire rivers. The grapes are destemmed, macerated for 15 days, fermentedand aged in stainless steel for minimum six months. Three grams of S02 are added per hectoliter on the harvest with an addition of one to three grams at bottling.
