Critical Acclaim: Vinous: 90 points.
About the Winery: Olga Raffault is a Chinon estate known for Cabernet Franc wines grown in the Loire Valley.
About the Wine: Les Picasses comes from a south-facing, clay-limestone slope. The estate hand-harvests its Cabernet Franc, ferments with indigenous yeasts and ages this bottling in large oak and chestnut foudres. This listing is for the 2020 vintage.
Tasting Notes: The estate's general profile describes cassis and dark cherry fruit with an earthy edge and a structured palate.
"Grown on a classic south-facing clay-limestone slope, this offers concentration and a silken mid-palate before chalky tannins and fresh acidity provide line and texture." - Rebecca Gibb, MW (Vinous).
Serving Suggestion: Serve slightly cool with roast chicken, mushrooms, grilled lamb or charcuterie.
Varietal: Cabernet Franc.
