Domaine de la Charmoise Henry Marionnet Gamay Loire 2021

Made from 40-50 year old Gamay grapes grown in soils known locally as "perruches", a combination of flinty stones in a mix of sand gravel, and clay. A simply toothsome wine of dark ruby character, plum, acaí, blackcurrant, violets, peony, herbs, and Bing cherry.  A touch of regional greenness, combined with the expressive varietal components of Gamay make this a striking tug-of-war for the senses.
