Tasting Note

A deep crimson hue infused with violet highlights. The nose is polished and expressive, featuring ripe black fruits—blackberry, cassis—with graphite and spicy oak notes already well integrated. The palate is elegant, full-bodied and structured, with fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral-tinged finish that speaks of ageing potential.

Product Notes

Philippe Alliet Chinon Rouge Vieilles Vignes is an exquisite red wine hailing from the Loire Valley region of France. Renowned for its flawless balance between acidity and fruity flavour, this medium-bodied wine charms with notes of raspberries, strawberries, and a subtle hint of spice. Made from Cabernet Franc grape, it's defined by its warm ruby colour and earthy undertones. Its texture on the palate is exceptionally smooth and wonderful. This old vine delight, reflecting the typical soil characteristics of Chinon, is made even more remarkable by its ability to age gracefully, making it an enduring favourite among wine connoisseurs.
