2024 Olga Raffault Chinon “La Fraîche”, Loire Valley, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

"La Fraîche" is crafted from 100% Cabernet Franc grown on sandy, alluvial soils near the Vienne River, which naturally produce a lighter, more aromatic style. Made from young vines and farmed organically, the wine is hand-harvested, fermented with native yeasts, and aged in stainless steel for about six months to preserve its vibrant fruit character. Designed as a true vin de soif, it emphasizes freshness, immediacy, and pure drinkability.
