2020 Domaine Olga Raffault Les Barnabés - Chinon Cabernet Franc - Agriculture Biologique - 0.75 Ltr.
picture of

Beautiful, bright, ruby red color. Typical nose of Cabernet Franc with notes of blueberries, raspberries, violet and a fine earthy and slightly spicy undertone. Nice balance between fruit and more complex notes. Full round taste with a fine drying bitter at the end. Long pure final.

Cabernet Franc goes well with a nice piece of red meat anyway. But this airy style is certainly also a good match with white meat or poultry. Also delicious with soft to medium-tasting cheeses.

climate

Temperate maritime climate influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. Even distribution of precipitation throughout the year. In summer, the temperature is moderated by fresh ocean currents. The winters are mild again.

soil

Sandy grounds with pebbles near the river, "de Vienne".

vinification

The grapes are harvested manually at the end of September. Classic, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel barrels. The wine then rests further in stainless steel before being bottled.
