"The Chinon L'Huisserie 2022 is round and structured. It offers a floral bouquet of peony, iris, and violet intertwined with dark wild berries. It is medium-bodied to full-bodied, precise and pure, with a textured attack and powdery tannins, leading to a penetrating, mineral finish. This multidimensional wine should develop very well. This multidimensional wine should develop very well over the next 10 to 20 years." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker 2024)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2026 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
Now more than ever one of the leading names in the Loire region, Domaine des Alliet—Claude, Philippe, and their son Pierre—is dedicated to producing great Cabernet Franc wines. The new generation has moved away from heavy-handed aging techniques, and the wines are becoming more refined in their youth while retaining excellent aging potential. The Coteau-de-Noiré, on a south-facing clay-limestone terroir, shines with its aging potential and its nuanced intensity.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About wine:
Rich in color and concentration, L'Huisserie and Le Coteau de Noiré reached exceptional levels in 2022. This sunny vintage was perfectly managed to produce wines of remarkable precision. They will need 20 years to reveal their full potential.
About the estate:
The discreet Claude and Philippe Alliet created a new style in Chinon in the 1990s. Their Vieilles Vignes cuvées (gravel, 70- to 90-year-old vines, 18 months in concrete vats), L’Huisserie (upper hillside and flinty clay plateau) and, above all, Coteau de Noiré (steep south-facing clay-limestone slope) have won over Cabernet Franc lovers with their dark color and incredible density. But there is no set formula at Philippe Alliet, a fine taster and outstanding winemaker, supported since 2005 by his son Pierre, who helps him craft wines that are ever deeper and more stylized. Since 2010, Bordeaux barrels have been replaced by 500-liter barrels and the proportion of new wood has been greatly reduced.

About wine:
From a 2-hectare plot planted in 2001 on clay-siliceous soil. Aged for two years in a mixture of 500-liter wood and concrete. Salty edge, refined palate. Dark and concentrated with great purity. Lively acidity and fresh, leafy tannins—a mature Cabernet Franc.

About wine:
Aromas of black and purple berries, tobacco, violets, and dried chili peppers. Full-bodied and concentrated, with a deep core of black fruit framed by firm, chalky tannins. A concentrated Chinon. Drink from 2026 onwards.
