A very interesting and tasty wine, my first red Loire. My only regret is not having it slightly chilled. The appearance is instantly intriguing - translucent ruby.
Nose - sweet ripe cherries, pulverised, ripe plum, pollen, with a green leaf element. Medium and clean - you can smell the citrus acidity.
Palate - surprisingly strong tannins give good structure/backbone. Strawberry reduction, ripe raspberries, dried cranberries and sour cherries.
Finish is savoury, medium, and refreshing

Very happy with this bottle. Earth, tannins, lasting fruit. Fresh, uncomplicated and versatile with food (we paired with quiche). Strongly recommend serving slighly chilled to draw out the fruit.

Straightforward; Light/mid-weight; Good transparency; Just a bit boring
