Olga Raffault
Chinon Cabernet Franc Rosé
Chinon, Touraine, Loire Valley, France
The 2021 Rosé is done in the saignée method, sourced from all the tanks of Domaine Olga Raffault reds. The result is round and generous, providing a sense of softness in the mouth. In terms of flavors, there's red fruit, pear drop and a touch of savoriness. There's plenty of freshness here, but it's balanced and appetizing with a little grip on the finish which keeps things moving along. Lots of pleasure and balance.

Limpid orange-pink. Lively, mineral-tinged red berry and orange zest scents, along with a building floral quality and a touch of succulent herbs. Dry, tight and lively in style, tangy redcurrant and tangerine flavors deepen slowly through the back half. Finishes on a repeating mineral note, with sharp definition and strong persistence.

Good strawberry/mineral combo, crisp and refreshing.
