Raffault 2018 Chinon "La Singulière"

100%  Cabernet Franc. "La Singulière" comes from a single parcel in "Les Picasses" named "Vaux," with 40-50 year-old vines that are certified organic and on limestone-rich clay soils. "La Singulière" is the only Raffault wine to be aged in smaller oak vessels, specifically 500-liter tonneaux on the newer side (from 1-5 years of previous use) vs. the quite old and large 30-hectoliter foudres for Picasses. After two years in wood, the wine is bottled without fining or filtering.
