Domaine de la Tourlaudière 'L'Apogée' 2020

$31.00

 

This is a rare red wine made in the westerly Loire appellation of Muscadet, the place mostly known for ocean-spray white wines made with Melon de Bourgogne and often recommended with oysters. Here, winemaker Romain Petiteau creates a fuller-bodied red with the unusual combination of varieties Carmenère and Pinot Noir, aged in older wooden barriques for around six months each year, with no more than 600 bottles produced annually. Spicy, herbal, floral, complex - super interesting, there's not many other bottles we know like it in the Loire!
