Loire Valley Philippe Alliet

Our committee's review

A model winemaker and two-star producer in the French wine guide RVF, Philippe Alliet has built a stellar reputation for his consistently outstanding reds, crafted through extended maceration and bursting with ripe fruit and depth. These are sought-after wines—now true Chinon benchmarks—that continue to impress with their ever-evolving natural expression across recent vintages.

The superb hillsides of Cravant are central to this success: these prized terroirs yield Cabernet Franc of remarkable precision and flavor, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with some of Bordeaux’s finest.

Take this opportunity to (re)discover a benchmark cuvée—an uncompromising, highly sought-after expression of the Chinon style at its finest.

The 2023 Red Chinon Tradition delivers an irresistible expression of perfectly ripe Cabernet Franc. It opens with fine graphite notes, floral aromas, and dark fruit, all wrapped in a beautifully integrated élevage. On the palate, it’s full, juicy, and delicious—flowing like a fruit coulis with silky, delicate tannins. A pure, polished wine with impressive clarity, it will drink beautifully over the next 6 to 8 years, and likely beyond. Rated 93–94/100 by the Selection Committee.

Let yourself be won over by this cult winemaker and his irresistible Chinon.
