2025 Olga Raffault Chinon Rosé, Loire Valley, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
Produced from 100% Cabernet Franc, this rosé is sourced from sandy and gravelly alluvial soils along the Vienne River, which lend the wine its signature freshness and approachability. The 2025 vintage is crafted using a combination of direct press and saignée methods, followed by spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel. It does not undergo malolactic fermentation, preserving its natural acidity and purity, and is aged in tank before bottling in the spring after harvest.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Domaine Olga Raffault is a benchmark estate in Chinon, with a winemaking legacy spanning five generations. The domaine focuses primarily on Cabernet Franc, grown across diverse soils that shape a range of wine styles from fresh and approachable to structured and age-worthy. Their rosé, like their reds, reflects a commitment to organic farming, traditional methods, and a clear expression of Loire Valley terroir.
