"Rare, very limited quantity on this vintage!"

Coteau de Noiré, the grand cuvée of Domaine Philippe Alliet, is exceptional for its balance and complexity. A beautiful minerality combined with noble, powerful tannins make this an excellent wine for laying down. An exceptional Chinon in every way.

Expert opinion

Rated wine (guide 2023) 98/100 (Vintage 2020)

Domaine rated (2025 guide) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

More than ever a benchmark in the Loire, the Domain of the Alliet family - Claude, Philippe and their son Pierre - is dedicated to the cause of great Cabernet Franc wines. The new generation has moved away from heavy ageing, and the wines gain in refinement in their youth, while retaining great staying power over time. Coteau-de-Noiré, with its south-facing clay-limestone terroir, shines with ageing potential and nuanced intensity.

Rated (guide 2024) 95/100 Coup de Cœur (Millésime 2020)

Domaine rated (2025 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the domain :

The discreet Claude and Philippe Alliet were the creators of a new style in Chinon in the 1990s. Their cuvées Vieilles Vignes (gravel, vines 70 to 90 years old, 18 months in concrete vats), L'Huisserie (hilltop and flinty clay plateau) and especially Coteau de Noiré (steep, south-facing clay-limestone slope), seduced Cabernet Franc lovers with their dark color and incredible density. But there's no set recipe for Philippe Alliet, a fine taster and outstanding winemaker, backed up by his son, Pierre, since 2005, who helps him shape ever deeper, more stylish wines. As of 2010, the Bordeaux barrels have been replaced by 500-liter barrels, and the proportion of new wood has been greatly reduced.
