Terroir
Our Giennois Rouge is produced on the limestone terroirs of Pougny and Saint-Père, small villages located in the heart of the Centre-Loire. This typical terroir for pinot noirs brings beautiful complexity to the wine.

Vinification
Alcoholic fermentation takes place in tanks (10 to 14 days) between 26 and 32 °C. During this time, the juice is pumped over 2 to 3 times a day to break the cap of pomace to extract maximum coloring matter and tannins.

AOP Situation
Located between Gien and Cosne-sur-Loire, this vineyard of 191 hectares has a temperate climate thanks to the Loire, with a continental influence from the East. It is planted on the hillsides of the Loire, extensions of the geological formations of Sancerrois and Pouilly. Coteaux du Giennois is a small and recent appellation with archaeological evidence of vines dating back to the 2nd century. A fresh and lively AOP, currently thriving with authentic wines that reveal the originality of their terroir.

Aging
Malolactic fermentation takes place in tanks and in 228-liter barrels (Tronçais oak). Once completed, the wine is racked and aged for 10 to 12 months.

Service
Serve between 10 and 12 °C.
Drink now, it can be kept for 4 to 7 years.

Food and wine pairings
The most pleasant company to discover this wine: Grilled red meats, mustard rabbit, and regional cheeses.

Tasting
With a brilliant garnet red color, this Coteaux du Giennois rouge opens with a typical nose combining black fruits and spicy nuances.
On the palate, the attack is straightforward accompanied by a silky texture. The aromas of cherry, blackberry, and blueberry complement each other in a harmonious blend, highlighted by a spicy touch on the finish.
