2023 Chinon "Tradition"
Domaine Philippe Alliet is a family affair under the guidance of Claude, Philippe and their son Pierre, who took over the domaine from Phlippe's father in 1983. The Domaine lies in the Cabernet Franc red wine heartland in Cravant-Les-Côteaux, next to Chinon, beside the Vienne River. They grow their entire 18 hectares of vineyard organically. The first cuvée of red wine is called “Tradition” and is made from vineyards planted in Cravant-Les-Coteaux on gravel and sandy soils. During the winemaking process, every single cuvée is processed gently. They don’t push the caps during the maceration of the red wines, slowing the extraction of flavours and tannins. Indigenous yeasts, fermented and aged in cement. Bottling is done unfined and unfiltered.- Clos Cachet, Importer.
