Domaine du Chêne Arrault
Domaine du Chêne Arrault produces Cabernet Franc from Touraine, in the Middle Loire Valley. The region's cool continental climate and slate-rich soils shape wines of structure and mineral precision. The winery's Bourgueil, a benchmark expression of the appellation, draws depth from mature vines and the variety's natural affinity for the terroir. A Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Bourgueil extends that lineage, leveraging older plantings to concentrate flavor and complexity. Cabernet Franc in this corner of the Loire yields wines marked by red-fruit clarity, herbaceous undertones, and the kind of acidity that rewards cellaring. Wine Advocate has rated both bottlings, recognizing their place within the region's serious red-wine tradition.
