Domaine Olga Raffault Chinon Rosé 2025 — Chinon, Loire Valley
Domaine Olga Raffault is one of Chinon’s most storied estates, a benchmark producer in the Loire Valley whose wines have defined the appellation for generations. This Rosé is 100% Cabernet Franc — half from certified-organic estate parcels on the sandy, gravelly flats along the Vienne River, half from a neighboring grower in organic conversion. Hand-harvested, native yeast fermented, with no malolactic fermentation and no new oak — just pure, transparent winemaking that lets the fruit and terroir speak.
Half the fruit is pressed directly as whole clusters; the other half is saigné. The result is a rosé of precision and energy: wild strawberry, raspberry, and watermelon on the nose, with delicate floral notes and a touch of citrus zest. The palate is crisp and lively, with bright acidity, a light silky texture, and a clean, mineral-tinged finish. Bottled in spring with light filtration to preserve freshness.
Organic estate Cabernet Franc — Chinon Rosé at its most precise and expressive.
Producer: Domaine Olga Raffault, Chinon, Loire Valley, France
