Olga Raffault Les Barnabes Chinon 2020

A very special Cabernet Franc from arguably the most respected winery in Chinon AC, an appellation in the Loire Valley, France. This great red offers red berry freshness and flavours of bright bold cherries, held in a smooth, drink-me-now wine with impressive structure that can see it age well for seven to eight years, if you can resist the urge to drink it sooner. 

Olga Raffault was founded by Olga and her husband Pierre, who worked the estate together until he died unexpectedly in 1947. Olga ran the business with the assistance of employee Ernest Zenninger, a German prisoner who became the winemaker and working closely with Olga?s son Jean Raffault, who has now taken over the winemaking.

Olga Raffault is a winery with a cult following and reputation for high quality Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs.
