A Chinon refined through careful selection across vintages
- L'Huisserie represents a genuine discovery within the Chinon appellation. Philippe Alliet's meticulous approach to viticulture in this Loire terroir yields a wine of considerable character and restraint—precisely the sort of bottle that rewards patient collectors.
- This is a Chinon built for contemplation rather than immediate consumption. Whilst approachable now, it possesses the structure and mineral backbone to develop gracefully over the coming years, revealing further complexity with modest cellaring.
- The 2020 vintage offers an ideal entry point for those seeking to explore Chinon beyond the familiar. Alliet's l'Huisserie combines the appellation's characteristic freshness with a refined tannic structure that speaks to serious winemaking.

In the mouth
The palate emphasises fruit purity and fine-grained tannins in perfect balance. A mineral finish of considerable length provides the wine's signature character—dry, precise, and deeply satisfying.
On the nose
Red and dark berries dominate, supported by a distinctive mineral undertone that speaks to the Loire's schist terroir. Notes of graphite and slate add complexity without overwhelming the fruit.
On the eye
Deep ruby with subtle garnet undertones
Breeding
18 months in oak barrels
This is a wine of considerable versatility at table. It pairs beautifully with poultry—a traditional coq au vin or poule au pot—where its mineral precision and restrained fruit complement rather than compete. Equally at home with charcuterie or soft cheeses. Serve slightly cool, around 14°C, to best appreciate its mineral character.

DOMAINE PHILIPPE ALLIET
Established at Cravant-les-Coteaux in the heart of the Chinon appellation, Domaine Philippe Alliet farms 17 hectares of Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc across clay-limestone, clay-siliceous and gravelly soils on south-facing slopes. Philippe Alliet, third generation of the family, took over in 1978 and forged a quietly influential style through the 1990s; his son Pierre joined him in 2005, strengthening a lineage built on precision rather than fashion. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the rigour of its approach — biodynamic practices followed without the pursuit of certification — and for the clarity with which its wines articulate the distinct facets of the Loire terroir. A reliable address for those who want Chinon as it truly is.
