Gamay
Vin Rouge 2022
Clos du Tue-Boeuf

Grape Variety: Gamay

Producer: Clos du Tue-Boeuf (Thierry, Zoe & Louise Puzelat)

Region: Touraine, Loire, France

Wild Scale: 3/5

Vegan friendly wine

Winemaking: Organic Gamay grapes were sourced from another grower. Fermentation with indigenous yeast. Aged in old wooden barrels. Bottled with no fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: A fresh and easy drinking natural red wine from the Puzelat's negotiant project (they buy grapes from friends and then make the wine at the domain). 'Vin de Soif ' style with flavours of morello cherry flavour, tart red berries, a hint of funk and moreish acidity.

Notes on the Winemaker: Thierry Puzelat is a local legend in his region of Touraine in the Loire Valley and his domain Clos du Tue-Boeuf has been organic since 1996. His daughters Zoe and Louise are now taking over the reigns. The blend of grapes in each cuvée often differs year to year as do the wines themselves and that's just how we like it.
