Red wine

  Azay-le-Rideau is the cradle of Grolleau: consider that the first writings regarding old varieties of Grolleau were discovered in 1810 right in Cinq Mars la Pile, just 5 km from Marie Thibault’s estate. This is a true vin de soif, airy and low in alcohol, produced with carbonic maceration. Tonic and perky, irresistible at the table.

Red fruits, dark petaled flowers, flint and undergrowth

Tonic and perky in the mouth, medium structure and not particularly alcoholic. Mineral and with a fun finish

Serving temperature 12°-14°

Throughout the meal, try it with cured meats
