Jean-Maurice Raffault Le Puy 2021

Chinon, France
7.1
WineSaint
Bright and mineral-driven, with piercing acidity that lifts red fruit and herbal notes. The 13.5% alcohol feels perfectly judged for this cool vintage, allowing the cabernet franc's natural elegance to shine. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without weight, while subtle oak integration adds complexity. Shows immediate charm but has the backbone for mid-term cellaring.
