Coteaux du Giennois red vines planted on limestone soils of Pougny and Saint Père, small villages in the heart of the Centre-Loire. Blend of 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Gamay, from 30 years old vines, aged for about 12 months in oak. Ruby red color with aromas of red fruits, floral and spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and plum with notes of cacao and spice. Fine drying tannins, medium savory finish, ending with fruit, spice and slight earthy notes.

2020 Sauvignon Blanc from this obscure Loire tiny region. Every time I fancy myself as a Loire expert, I get sideswiped by something new and unexpected. This is a lean green restraint driven marvel. Chives, basil, underripe papaya on nose. White snd pink grapefruit rinds with lime peel mid palate. Everything is being held back with extreme tension. Finishes with the slightest hint of passion fruit which lingers for a minute or more, Impressive, bitter, intense, intriguing.
