Henry Marionnet's Touraine Gamay from Domaine de la Charmoise in Soings-en-Sologne, the benchmark for the grape in the Loire. Hand-harvested from vines planted in the late 1960s and 70s on clay, flint and sand, fermented with native yeasts and never oaked. Juicy red cherry, raspberry and strawberry with a floral, peppery lift, soft tannins and crunchy acidity; best served slightly cool.
