ABOUT THIS WINE

"Les Barnabés" comes from sandy, gravelly alluvial soils near the Loire River, producing a lighter, more immediately accessible style of Chinon. Organically farmed and fermented with native yeasts in tank, the wine is aged in stainless steel to preserve its purity and freshness. This cuvée is typically the earliest-released of Raffault’s reds, emphasizing vibrant fruit, drinkability, and a classic Loire Valley profile.
