Gamay Pinot Noir de Touraine, Domaine de la Rochette 2010
Our price: £8.95
Hidden amongst the most beautiful chateaux in the Loire, right in the heart of the region and close to the banks of the river Cher, Domaine de la Rochette comprises 46 hectares of vines used to produce both red and white wines. Now run by Francois Leclair, the latest of three generations of fathers and sons to control proceedings, the estate is part of the "Appellation d'Origine Controlee Touraine", indicating that all vines have passed quality control checks that render the wines they produce of a sufficient level to be bottled as "high quality".
Gamay is blended with the Pinot Noir for a touch more fruitiness(dark and red cherry) and liveliness. It makes a lovely change from a classic Beaujolais Villages!
