Tasting & Style
The Olga Raffault Chinon "La Fraîch" 2024 is the estate's modern, early-drinking red — light-bodied, juicy, and built for immediate enjoyment. Sandy soils give it a silky, approachable character that sets it apart from Raffault's more structured cuvées like Les Picasses.
- Serve slightly chilled (55°F / 12–14°C) to highlight its freshness.
- Food pairings: Charcuterie, grilled sausages, goat cheese (Chèvre), or lightly spiced vegetarian dishes.
