Chinon Les Barnabés Olga Raffault 2022 is a single-vineyard wine crafted from 100% Cabernet Franc, sourced from the Chinon appellation in the Loire Valley, France. The vineyard is known for its distinctive clay and limestone soils. This vintage showcases aromas of red cherry and raspberry, accompanied by subtle floral notes of violet. The palate is marked by fresh acidity and a light body, supported by structured yet supple tannins.

Aromas of violet, spring flowers and dark wild berries preface the 2022 Chinon Les Barnabés, a moderately weighted, juicy and enveloping wine with a seamless, enveloping texture that segues into a delicate finish thanks to velvety tannins. This is a fine Cabernet Franc that offers nuanced complexity.

The 2022 Les Barnabés is ripe but still manages to be fresh and fine. It has a touch of juicy flesh reflecting the warm, dry vintage, but where others have slipped up with high alcohol and chunky tannins, the domaine has managed to attain ripeness with elegance. This is light-bodied, just 12.5% alcohol with gentle and finely textured tannins. Ripe, sweet blackberry and damson fruit join delicate, smoky spices on the short- to medium-length finish. Enjoy this in the first four to six years of its life for its fruit, either by the glass or with lighter dishes. Rebecca Gibb19th August 2025
