Region
A Loire region south of Touraine, which retains the VDQS appellation (considered somewhere between AC and VdP in quality terms) for its varietal wines from Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Gamay and more. They represent classic fresh Loire styles and accessible pricing.
Producer
Haut Poitou lies a short distance to the south of the Loire Valley, near the town of Poitou. This forward thinking co-operative has long established a reputation for crisp, clean uncomplicated Loire varietals.
Tasting (Long)
Made by the Cave de Haut Poitou, a short distance south of the Loire River, near the town of Poitou. Gamay grapes grown in this region of the Loire make fleshy, aromatic red wine with juicy fruit flavours, gentle acidity and rounded tannins. The fruit has the ripeness and silky quality of a Cru Beaujolais.
Tasting (Short)
A fleshy, aromatic red wine with juicy fruit flavours, gentle acidity and rounded tannins.
Food
The lively fresh fruit and subtle tannins make this Gamay ideal to drink on its own as well as an accompaniment to cold meats and pates, chicken salad, pizza and mild cheeses.
