Les Galuches is a Cabernet Franc from Chinon in France's Loire Valley. The wine is very aromatic, with a bouquet of violets followed by lush, supple dark berry and cherry fruit.
The Raffault family has cultivated vines in Chinon for 14 generations, since their ancestor Mathurin Bottreau bought his first parcel in 1693. Today Domaine Jean-Maurice Raffault owns 50 hectares in 7 communes, with Cabernet Franc vines averaging 35 years of age. Jean-Maurice took over in 1973 and began vinifying each parcel separately and naming wines for their sites, a practice now common in the appellation. His son Rodolphe, winemaker since 1997, ages the wines for 18 months in neutral oak casks over 10 years old, in limestone cliff caves. The wines are not filtered, and the farming is organic.
