2023 Jean-Maurice Raffault Chinon Les Galuches Sicily all the elements are soLes Galuches is a lieu dit, or named vineyard, along an ancient riverbed made up of gravel and sand soils.

Deep cherry flavors mingle with a hint of herb and a crack of black pepper spice. The Raffault family has cultivated vines in Chinon for 15 generations! Rodolphe Raffault is the current winemaker
