シノンのエレガンスを体現する、熟成能力に優れたカベルネ・フランの銘醸ドメーヌ
Domaine Olga Raffault is a legendary estate located in Savigny-en-Véron, in the heart of the Chinon appellation. Founded in the early 20th century, the estate gained international acclaim under the guidance of Olga Raffault, who took over after her husband's death in 1947. The domaine is renowned for its traditional approach to winemaking, producing Cabernet Franc wines that are celebrated for their elegance, longevity, and distinct sense of terroir. Their iconic cuvée, 'Les Picasses,' is sourced from old vines planted in clay-limestone soils, exemplifying the refined power and complexity that define the best of Chinon. Today, the family continues to honor these time-tested methods, ensuring the estate remains a benchmark for Loire Valley red wines.
