2021 Olga Raffault Chinon Les Barnabes Country_Mexico orange oil and white flowersProducer: Olga Raffault Region: Chinon, Touraine, Loire, France Varietal: Cabernet Franc Year: 2021 Winemaker Notes: "Les Barnabs stands apart from Raffault's other main sites, Les Picasses and Les Peuilles, still in the Vron region but far to the west and downhill on a plain of alluvial soils near the Loire River.
