Among the Loire’s greatest wines, Raffault’s ‘Les Picasses’ is incredibly concentrated & age-worthy, with the ability to cellar for 2+ decades. Even in its relative youth, it offers lively red fruit, earth, hints of green pepper, and firm tannins. Truly special stuff. Food Pairing Lamb dishes, roast pork, pizza, stews

The 2018 Les Picasses offers ripeness alongside finesse and elegance. Sourced from a 35-year-old vineyard on clay-limestone, it offers a gently creamy mid-palate while remaining delicate in texture. Ripe strawberry fruit flavors meet wild herbs and the very merest note of pepper on the palate. Certainly now entering a drinking window, there is plenty of room in terms of both flavor development and its finely woven texture to allow this to develop over the coming decade.
