Jean-Maurice Raffault Les Picasses 2019
Red
Chinon, France
7.2
WineSaint
Graphite and dark fruit define this structured Chinon, with earthy undertones and fine-grained tannins that grip without harshness. The mineral backbone drives through a concentrated mid-palate, while herbal notes and smoky oak add layers. Still tightly wound and needing cellaring to reach its potential.
