This is one of Raffault’s single-vineyard wines, coming from the first slope above the Loire. It is delicate, with light, fresh red fruits and a good smoky edge. This is ready to drink now; might age for another year.

This is the lightest of the five reds from Jean-Maurice Raffault, a blend of different parcels and soils. It is fresh, packed with red cherry fruit flavors, and should be enjoyed this summer.

This comes from the plateau above the river Vienne, an area where the soil is a mix of clay and chalk. With its vanilla and toast over red, spicy fruit, with a touch of smokiness, this is smooth, ripe and elegant.

To judge by this fresh, crisply fruity example, 2006 is a great year for rosé on the Loire. It has lively raspberry flavors and a great burst of finishing acidity. Delicious.

This is a rich fruitcake-flavored wine, with pure fresh fruits over layers of tannins. It is delicious and ready to drink, packed with fruit and tannins.
