The tasting |
|
|
Deep, violet-red. |
|
| | |
|
Aromas of graphite mingled with notes of wild blackberries, all with well-integrated aging. |
|
| | |
|
On the palate, we find the same aromas, revealing a fresh, juicy, full-bodied juice. A wine that deserves a few more months in the cellar to really reveal itself! |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
A model winemaker with 2 stars in the RVF Guide, Philippe Alliet consistently produces long-macerated reds that are dazzling in fruit and maturity. These sought-after cuvées have become benchmarks in Chinon, continually showcasing a fresh, natural expression in recent vintages.
The beautiful slopes of Cravant play a significant role: these magical terroirs yield an enchanting Cabernet Franc with precision and flavor that easily rivals the finest Bordeaux expressions. |
|

|
The 2022 red Chinon Tradition offers an irresistible expression of Cabernet Franc, with graphite and wild blackberry notes, and well-integrated aging that highlights the fruit. This brilliance is confirmed on the palate with a fresh, juicy, and full-bodied juice, benefiting from the vintage's depth and the aging in 500-liter barrels, without any ostentatious woodiness. A textbook example! This bottle deserves an additional six months in the cellar to fully open up and reveal all its qualities. Rated 94/100 by the Committee. |
