The estate and the wine |
|
|
A model winemaker and two-star producer in the French wine guide RVF, Philippe Alliet has built a stellar reputation for his consistently outstanding reds, crafted through extended maceration and bursting with ripe fruit and depth. These are sought-after wines—now true Chinon benchmarks—that continue to impress with their ever-evolving natural expression across recent vintages.
The superb hillsides of Cravant are central to this success: these prized terroirs yield Cabernet Franc of remarkable precision and flavor, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with some of Bordeaux’s finest. |

The 2023 Red Chinon Tradition delivers an irresistible expression of perfectly ripe Cabernet Franc. It opens with fine graphite notes, floral aromas, and dark fruit, all wrapped in a beautifully integrated élevage. On the palate, it’s full, juicy, and delicious—flowing like a fruit coulis with silky, delicate tannins. A pure, polished wine with impressive clarity, it will drink beautifully over the next 6 to 8 years, and likely beyond. Rated 93–94/100 by the Selection Committee. |
