Domaine Jean-Maurice Raffault Chinon Clos D'Isoré
Wine Information
This monopole parcel is situated in the enclosed vineyard of the Château d’Isoré, completed in the 17th century. It has been organically farmed since 2012. The ancient cellar of the château is located beneath the vines. The 3-hectare vineyard was fully planted in 1938 with a selection massale, which is largely intact to this day. The soil is a mix of clay and limestone and the exposition of the sloping vineyard is north-west. The Clos d’Isoré is aged for 18 months in 1 to 5-year-old barriques on its fine lees and malolactic fermentation takes place in cask. It is a wine for long aging, and the taster will appreciate the wine’s complex cassis and dark cherry qualities after at least 3 years in the cellar. 1000 cases produced.
