Olga Raffault is one of those producers that’s quietly shaped the story of Chinon. Their reds have earned a cult following, but their rosé is a hidden gem that deserves its own moment. The 2024 rosé is made entirely from Cabernet Franc, pressed gently and bottled without fluff. It’s lean and dry, with sharp red berries, herbal lift, and a mineral edge that could only come from limestone-rich soils. There’s a little texture, a little bite — the kind that makes it food-ready rather than poolside fluff. This is not a round, ripe rosé. It’s precise, savory, and built to sit alongside food — charcuterie, grilled fish, or something with a bit of garlic and herbs.
