Vinifera

2012 Touraine Gamay

Henry Marionnet Vinifera is a delightful expression of Gamay from the picturesque Touraine region, where the interplay of terroir and climate allows for exceptional grape cultivation. This red wine exhibits a medium body, showcasing its approachable and elegant character that makes it wonderfully versatile for various occasions. The acidity is bright and lively, enhancing the wine's refreshing nature while offering a crisp mouthfeel that cleanses the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of red berries and cherries that dance harmoniously with hints of floral undertones. Tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing just the right structure without overpowering the delicate fruit. As a dry wine, it invites exploration with food pairings, effortlessly complementing a wide array of dishes and solidifying its place as a charming choice for any wine enthusiast.

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.
