Domaine Robert Serol Cote Roannaise Eclat de Granite, 2021

STORY BEHIND THIS WINE

32 hectares of Gamay and 2 hectares of Viognier are planted on granite soils. One new vineyard of 2 hectares of Chenin Blanc, planted in 2018, offers a new white wine. Domaine Sérol and Michel Troisgros share ownership of Les Blondins, a two-hectare vineyard of Gamay. Harvest is carried out by hand. Extreme rigor in the cellar allows the winemaking process to remain as natural as possible.

OUR IMPRESSION

Dark, muscly and ripe-tasting gamay with  flavours of raspberry, blackberry and dark cherry. Gamay in the Loire, Auvergne, is grown on granite, similar soils to those found in  Beaujolais cru of Brouilly.
