Envol

2014 Cheverny Pinot Noir, Gamay

Domaine Des Huards Envol from the Cheverny region is a delightful expression of both Pinot Noir and Gamay, showcasing a vibrant red hue that hints at the wine's liveliness. On the palate, this wine displays a medium body and a refreshing acidity, which brings a lively quality that makes it incredibly food-friendly. The fruit intensity is prominent, with berry notes that intertwine beautifully with subtle earthy undertones, creating a harmonious balance. Tannins are well-integrated, providing a gentle structure that supports the wine's fruit-forward character without overpowering it. This 2014 vintage embodies the elegance of the Cheverny region, making it an ideal choice for both casual sips and sophisticated pairings.

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.
