If the Vieilles Vignes is elegant and refined, the Chinon L'Huisserie 2022, already in barrel, is rounder and more structured. It offers a floral bouquet of peony, iris and violet interwoven with dark wild berries. It's medium- to full-bodied, precise and pure, with a textured attack and powdery tannins, which follow through to a penetrating, mineral finish. This multidimensional wine should develop very well (Parker 2024).

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
More than ever a benchmark in the Loire, Domaine des Alliet - 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.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to 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, supported 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 As of 2010, the Bordeaux barrels have been replaced by 500-liter barrels, and the proportion of new wood has been greatly reduced.
