Domaine de la Noblaie ★ 4.6
Domaine de la Noblaie has farmed its Ligre Chinon parcels under Ecocert organic certification since 2009 and works biodynamically without formal certification. The estate's Les Chiens-Chiens and Pierre de Tuf cuvees are textbook examples of organic-farmed gravel-terrace Cabernet Franc, with a lighter, peppery profile.
Tip: Visits by appointment from the Ligre cellar; the estate offers tastings paired with regional cheese on Saturday afternoons in summer.
