This Cheverny ‘Rouillon’ from Clos du Tue-Bœuf, typically a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay, presents a vibrant aromatic profile of fresh red berries like cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, complemented by subtle floral notes of violet and an intriguing undercurrent of forest floor or damp earth. On the palate, it’s light to medium-bodied with bright, mouth-watering acidity characteristic of Loire Valley reds. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, allowing the juicy red fruit to shine, often with a hint of minerality. The finish is clean, refreshing, and of medium length, leaving a pleasant echo of fruit and a touch of savory earth.
