Gamay 2018

Description

It is rare that wines from this grape variety have such a deep red colour. Its youth presents some purple hues. The ripe red fruit aromas linger throughout the tasting experience. In the mouth, the tannins are extremely mellow. This is a harmonious wine which brings distinction to the appellation of Touraine.
