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.

"The 2022 L'Huisserie has a silky mid-palate, while a polished frame provides tension and grip. The textured palate delivers fine tannins and a chalky veil. Red fruit, savoury notes and an element of spice linger on the medium-length finish." —Rebecca Gibb MW

Robert Parker

"If the Vieilles Vignes is elegant and refined, the 2022 Chinon L'Huisserie, already in barrels, is more round and structured. Offering up a floral bouquet of peony, iris and violet intertwined with dark wild berries, it’s medium to full-bodied, precise and pure with a textural attack and powdery tannins, segueing into a penetrating, mineral finish. It will offer a broad drinking window. This multidimensional wine should turn out very well after the élevages and for the 10 to 20 years to come." —Yohan Castaing

Jancis Robinson

"Salty edge, refined on the palate. Dark and concentrated with plenty of purity. Lively acidity and fresh, leafy tannins † a grown-up Cabernet Franc."

More about Philippe Alliet

Summer's perfect red from Chinon's slopes. Philippe is a reference point for new-generation Loire winemakers: low yields, ripe fruit, obsessive vineyard care. He makes 100% Cabernet Franc, inspired by Bordeaux's power but rooted in Chinon's saline terroir. Long fermentation, aged in 500-liter casks with reduced new wood. The result is a red that defines summer over ice—serious yet refreshing.
