Husband-and-wife team Claude and Philippe Alliet are joint owners of this cab-ernet franc estate and added to their fam?ily L'Huisserie, a sloping parcel of very young vines on a clay-silica site. The Chi?non Vieilles Vignes is sourced from vines planted in gravel and sand and grows more distinctive every year. The Coteau de Noire today ranks as a reference point for Chinon wines from clay-limestone ter?roirs-deep, with a precise nose and utterly compelling.
