Wine Article

The fruit for Domaine Jean-Maurice Raffault's Chinon Rouge comes from several parcels on sandy, alluvial soil near the Vienne River. This origin gives a supple, fruity Chinon that is perfect for early drinking. The wine's bright cherry and raspberry flavors are best appreciated with a slight chill. Deep black cherry and aromas tinged with vanilla, chocolate...lead to a bright yet quite silken-textured palate loaded with ripe, pit- and herb-accented black cherry fruit...it draws to a lip-smacking finish. 12.5% alc/vol
