{"product_id":"philippe-alliet-chinon-vieilles-vignes-2023","title":"Philippe Alliet, Chinon Vieilles Vignes, 2023","description":"Cabernet Franc vines more than 60 years old, gravel soils, and cement instead of oak: Alliet's Vieilles Vignes is Chinon with nothing standing between you and the old-vine fruit. Charles Joguet may have put Chinon on the map, but Philippe Alliet sealed the deal. He did it by taking his cue from Bordeaux's right bank, where Cabernet Franc also thrives, rather than from Burgundy. Philippe and his son Pierre farm 12 organic hectares in Cravant-les-Côteaux, home to some of the Loire's best Cabernet Franc vineyards, and every wine they make is 100% Cabernet Franc. They destem every bunch to avoid the green, vegetal streak that puts some drinkers off Loire reds, and they ferment only with native yeasts. Aging in cement keeps the attention on what those old vines and that gravel have to say. If you think of Chinon as a light bistro red, try this bottle, and then think about what serious old-vine Cabernet Franc costs from Bordeaux.","brand":"Skurnik [MSK]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51004204482617,"sku":"NYC-W-MSK-`FR-ALI-03-23`-102926-7","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/IMG-5624.jpg?v=1793379188","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/philippe-alliet-chinon-vieilles-vignes-2023","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
