For many people—including plenty of critics—it doesn’t get more Chinon than the wines of Olga Raffault, and Les Picasses is their flagship bottling. Made entirely from a single vineyard of the same name—where the organically farmed vines start at 50 years old—in a standout vintage, it’s “simply outstanding on both the nose and palate” according to esteemed Loire critic John Gilman. 

Eye
Full ruby color, with slight bricking at the rim.
Nose
Classic Chinon aromas of lead pencil, fresh and dried herbs, and raspberry, with a little brushstroke of verbena and earthy funk.
Palate
Lean and focused on the palate. Dark floral notes are delivered in a smoky, savory style.
