    Slightly more fruit and body thanks to warmer climates and riper grapes

    2018 Olga Raffault "Les Picasses" Chinon (Loire Valley, FR) 3R

    "Les Picasses" is the most famous Chinon lieu-dit within the Loire Valley. The soils are chalky, clay-limestone with full southern exposure, resulting in fully ripened, structured wines. "Les Picasses" is the fullest bodied and most structured of Olga Raffault's reds. The bottle features warming spices, black cherry and a mouthwatering acidity. The finish shows chalky tannins that draw you in for your next sip.
