Domaine de la Noblaie is based in the small, pretty village of Ligre on the south bank of the Vienne. Noblaie's connection with wine dates back centuries. In 1952 it was bought by the Manzagol family, then with five hectares of vines. It is now run by Jérôme Billard and Élodie Peyrussie, the third generation of the family. Les Chiens Chiens is a parcel of 50-year-old vines planted on a clay plateau. This is 100% Cabernet Franc picked by hand. Les Chiens Chiens is aged for 12 months in 400 to 600 litre barrels with as little new wood as possible, so as not to mask the fruit. The densely dark coloured 2019 has a lovely, ripe black fruit character, rich texture, a still youthful structure and very good balance. It needs more time in bottle to show its best.
