					<description><![CDATA[In the beautiful country of Véron, cradled between the Loire and the Vienne, the Olga Raffault estate has been transmitting its know-how in the production of its Chinon wines for five generations. Olga Raffault has devoted her whole life to these landscapes that she loved so much and has always been able to share her love of wine.

Les Barnabés are shaped by the alluvium of the Loire and the gravel of the Vienne in the town of Savigny-en-Véron. This cuvée blooms from its earliest youth between 14 and 16°C and can be enjoyed with white and roast meats.

<span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Certified organic.</strong></span>

Alcohol 12.5%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Deep ruby in color with purple reflections.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
On the nose, this cuvée expresses floral and fruity aromas of great freshness, with hints of violet and raspberry standing out.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
In the mouth, the tannins are really soft, while the crunchiness of the fruit dominates the palate. A nice structure, a good balance, with taut tannins and a great intensity on the finish.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
Fermented in tank with native yeasts and aged in stainless steel tanks to allow the freshness and brightness of the fruit.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
This Chinon will go well with white and roasted meats.<br />
To be served at 16-18°c.</p>
<p><strong>READINESS FOR DRINKING</strong><br />
Approachable in its youth, this is a wine to enjoy anytime, anywhere.</p>
