Winemaker Story
" Since Olga passed away, Domaine Olga Raffault is currently run by her granddaughter Sylvie and her husband Eric de la Vigerie. "
The estate has terrific plots of land in the Savigny-en-Véron district, right by the Vienne riverbanks. The “Les Picasses” vineyard stands out from the rest: old vines of 50-ish years on a fairly steep slope from the riverbank that is alluvial clay with a chalk limestone base. The estate makes red wines, “Les Barnabés” and “Les Peuilles”, as well as limited Chinon Blanc called “Champ-Chenin”. The winemaking is the most traditional. The grapes are handpicked and fermented in stainless steel. The wines are then aged in larger, neutral oak and sometimes chestnut – a traditional wood barrel.
