Philippe Alliet Chinon l’Huisserie 2022 exemplifies the finesse and character of the Loire Valley’s esteemed Chinon appellation. Crafted by the renowned Philippe Alliet, this exceptional Cabernet Franc is cultivated in the sun-kissed vineyards of l’Huisserie, benefiting from the region’s unique terroir of granite and clay soils. Hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo a meticulous fermentation process in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving their vibrant fruit profiles and nuanced aromatics. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, imparting subtle vanilla and spice undertones while enhancing its structural elegance. The 2022 vintage presents a deep ruby hue, unveiling layers of red cherry, cassis, and hints of floral notes, complemented by a refined acidity and silky tannins. Ideal for pairing with roasted meats or aged cheeses, Philippe Alliet Chinon l’Huisserie 2022 is a testament to expert craftsmanship and the enduring prestige of Chinon wines. |

Wine Advocate (93)Aromas of raspberries, licorice, cassis and dark wild berries preface the 2022 Chinon Vieilles Vignes, a medium-bodied, enveloping and layered wine with a seamless, fine-grained texture complemented by powdery tannins and concluding with a long and ethereal finish. This vintage is one of the most precise and pure expressions of Vieilles Vignes I have ever tasted. Kudos! |
