Loire Valley Jean-Maurice Raffault

Our committee's review

The Loire Valley is a treasure trove of hidden gems, consistently delivering exceptional wines at very approachable prices.

Domaine Jean-Maurice Raffault, nestled in Chinon, is one of those cherished estates that stands out for both its reliable quality and great value.

Now managed by Rodolphe Raffault, the family-run domaine practices organic farming, crafting expressive wines that showcase the unique character of each vineyard parcel, all nurtured through thoughtful aging.

Don’t miss this Chinon gem at an unbeatable price—our Selection Committee’s favorite and undoubtedly one of the best value wines in the appellation!

Hailing from a gravelly site in the western part of the appellation, the 2021 Chinon Les Picasses Red delivers a perfectly ripe, fruit-forward Cabernet experience. It opens with vibrant notes of graphite, stone fruit, plum, and spices. The palate is fresh, savory, and well-balanced, showcasing pure, bright fruit without any oak influence. Ready to enjoy now and will age beautifully for 5 years or more. This is the Selection Committee’s favorite, rated 93/100.

Discover this irresistible, great-value Chinon—an absolute best-seller in its category!
