Chinon Rouge, Philippe Alliet
Description
One of the top producers in Chinon, Philippe Alliet has been helping raise the bar of what is possible with Cabernet Franc in this appeliation. Organically produced.
"Philippe Alliet has produced a clean, pure 2023 Tradition, offering aromas of dark wild berries, licorice, coniferous forest and cedar, followed by a moderately weighted, tense and elegant palate that is framed by powdery tannins and fine acidity, concluding with a fine-sculpted finish. It's easy to drink, pleasant and super affordable. Matured in concrete tanks." Wine Advocate, Score 90.

Producer Details
It’s a real privilege to be able to source these highly sought after wines, which originate from his small 17 hectares estate in Cravant-les-Côteaux, the location of some of the finest Cabernet Franc vineyards in the Loire. Inspired by his love for top Bordeaux, Philippe’s goal is to make wines that share the same concentration, density and power using low yields, optimally ripe fruit and full destemming of the grapes. All of his cuvées show great purity and balance and we are convinced that they have the ability to age for a decade or more.
