Philippe Alliet, Chinon L'Huisserie, 2022
Philippe Alliet sealed the deal for Chinon by building his reference point in Bordeaux rather than Burgundy, and L'Huisserie exemplifies his philosophy. Grown on south-facing clay and siliceous slopes with destemmed grapes and 500-liter barrel aging, this wine delivers the structure and precision of a Bordeaux alongside the soul of Loire Cabernet Franc. The 2022 is floral and dark-fruited, with a textural attack and powdery tannins that dissolve into a mineral finish—proof that Loire's finest reds deserve serious attention.
