Philippe Alliet is a model winemaker with 2 stars in the RVF Green Guide. He consistently produces long-macerated red wines with dazzling aromas of fruit and good maturity. These sought-after bottles have become benchmarks in the Chinon appellation and, in recent vintages, have shown an increasingly fresh and natural style. 

The beautiful Cravant hillsides contribute greatly to this: these magical terroirs produce a Cabernet Franc that is full of precision and flavor, easily rivaling the greatest expressions of Bordeaux.
