Description
Discover the vibrant character of Olga Raffault’s 2021 Les Barnabés Cabernet Franc, an organically crafted red wine from the renowned Chinon appellation in France’s Loire Valley. This expressive vintage offers wine lovers an immediately approachable style, perfect for enjoying now without extensive cellaring.
Sourced from unique alluvial soils near the Loire River in Véron’s western plains, Les Barnabés stands apart with its sandy-gravelly terroir. This distinct riverside location yields a lighter-bodied, elegant Cabernet Franc bursting with bright red fruit flavors and refreshing acidity – a delightful contrast to heavier Chinon reds.
Experience authentic Loire winemaking:
* Organic Vineyards: Sustainably farmed grapes harvested by hand
* Gentle Processing: Destemmed berries remain uncrushed for purity
* Natural Fermentation: Wild yeasts initiate cooler tank fermentation
* Freshness Preserved: Exclusive tank aging maintains vibrant fruit character
Ideal for everyday enjoyment, this 12.5% ABV wine pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, or charcuterie. Its earlier release schedule makes it a superb choice among Raffault’s reds for those seeking a deliciously drinkable, food-friendly Cabernet Franc that captures the essence of Chinon’s unique terroir.
