Description
WINEMAKER: Julian Seckinger & Bertjan Mol
REGION: Loire Valley, FR
VARIETAL: Gamay, Côt
VITICULTURE: Organic
"In 2020 Domaine la Taupe purchased some organic Gamay from a friend in Franceuil, a neighbouring village in the Loir et Cher. The family went and picked the grapes themselves, and then Bert and his German intern Julian, made the wine as a collaboration. Indeed, Domaine la Taupe had never produced a rosé before, and Julian wanted to give it a crack - why not!
The Gamay was pressed directly, and then blended with 10% Côt to give a bit more colour. The wine was aged in tank for 6 months, and then bottled unfined, unfiltered and without SO2.
Apart from the amazing colour, the wine smells of red cherries and raspberry candy. It is bright, with a beautiful freshness and lingering acidity. Raspberry, cherry, and then some pomegranate and cranberry on the wonderful tart finish. Very straight and direct on the palate with good tension. At 12%, it is made for good times!" - Ryan Larkin

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
