Domaine de Pierre Touraine Gamay Rouge

Touraine, Loire Valley

From vines dating back up to 65 years, this classic, carbonic Gamay is fresh and juicy. Grown mostly in sand, grass is grown between the rows to control vigor. Aggressive green harvesting and careful vineyard work ensure that only the very best bunches are fermented, which is especially important as the whole bunches are put in the tank.
