Rated estate (2026 guide): 4* Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
Now more than ever a benchmark in the Loire Valley, Domaine des Alliet—Claude, Philippe, and their son Pierre—is dedicated to crafting great Cabernet Franc wines. The new generation has moved away from overly oaked styles, and the wines are becoming more refined in their youth while retaining excellent aging potential. The Coteau-de-Noiré, grown on south-facing clay-limestone soil, shines for its aging potential and its nuanced intensity.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
The unassuming Claude and Philippe Alliet pioneered a new style in Chinon in the 1990s. Their Vieilles Vignes cuvées (gravel soils, vines aged 70 to 90 years, aged 18 months in concrete tanks), L’Huisserie (upper hillside and flint-clay plateau), and above all Coteau de Noiré (steep south-facing clay-limestone slope), have captivated Cabernet Franc enthusiasts with their deep color and incredible density. But there is no set formula for Philippe Alliet, a refined taster and outstanding winemaker, supported by his son, Pierre, since 2005, who helps him craft wines that are ever deeper and more refined. Starting in 2010, Bordeaux barrels were phased out in favor of 500-liter casks, and the proportion of new oak was significantly reduced.

Probably the best Chinon producer around right now. I enjoyed these wines much more than those from Baudry and Couly-Dutheil

The nose is fresh and delicate, with notes of ripe red berries and subtle floral and herbal hints. On the palate, the velvety tannins are interwoven with a delicate and flavorful aromatic depth. A truly exceptional Chinon, already displaying great elegance and finesse.
