In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Ruby with purple edges, this Gamay opens with restrained raspberry and strawberry aromatics. Supple tannins wrap around precise red fruit, underpinned by silky texture and a mineral undercurrent. At 13.5% ABV with crisp acidity, it tastes lighter and more energetic than its alcohol suggests—bone dry and built for repetition.

The Winery — Domaine de La Brossette

Run by Thierry Delaunay and his family, this certified organic estate near Chenonceau tends three hectares of clay-sandy Touraine vineyard. Semi-carbonic maceration for six to eight days, followed by gentle pressing and time on fine lees, preserves the brightness and delicacy throughout the 2023. A measured summer required careful canopy work; the September harvest delivered grapes with real tension and balance, qualities you taste in every sip.
