The 12-hectare estate produces a remarkable array of 100% Cabernet Franc wines, showcasing the purity and balance that the variety can achieve in this region.
“In the cellar, the Alliets use only indigenous yeasts and completely destem the grapes to minimise the vegetal notes often found in Loire Valley reds.”

Domaine Alliet consistently elevates the standards for Cabernet Franc in Chinon, producing wines that are both immediately enjoyable and capable of ageing gracefully for decades.
