Olek-Mery

Olek-Mery sits in Chinon, the heart of Touraine's Middle Loire Valley, where Cabernet Franc thrives in cool-climate conditions. The region's slate and clay soils yield wines of mineral precision and red-fruit intensity—Chinon's signature character. The winery's Cuvée des Tireaux Chinon demonstrates the appellation's potential: a Cabernet Franc of structure and depth that has drawn assessment from Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator. In Chinon, where elegance and freshness define the category, Olek-Mery works within a tradition of terroir-driven winemaking that privileges the grape's natural acidity and subtle tannins over extraction.
