Domaine De La Charmoise

2012 Touraine Gamay

Henry Marionnet's Domaine De La Charmoise showcases the delightful essence of Gamay, hailing from the picturesque Touraine region. This red wine reveals a charmingly vibrant ruby hue, inviting you into its aromatic bouquet. On the palate, it expresses light to medium body, complemented by a refreshing acidity that balances beautifully with its fruit intensity. Notes of ripe cherry and strawberry are accompanied by subtle earthy undertones, creating a harmonious and engaging flavor profile. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, allowing the wine to glide effortlessly across the tongue, while its dryness enhances its food-friendly character. This 2012 vintage is a true testament to the terroir of Touraine, embodying both elegance and approachability in every sip.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
