Description
This fine blend of Cabernet Franc and Gamay was created to celebrate the friendship between winemakers Geoffrey de Noüel and François Plouzeau - Les 2 Amis and produces a cheerful, easy-drinking wine with full red fruit.
Since 1973, Domaine de la Garrelière has been in the hands of the Plouzeau family. François and Pascale have been at the helm since 1985 and although they are ECOCERT organically certified, they work strictly biodynamically. Some wines have minimal sulphites added and some are sulphites-free.
The 18 hectares of the estate are located halfway between Poitiers and Tours, Domaine de la Garrelière belongs to the southern part of the Touraine appellation. The terroir here consists mainly of sand and gravel. The estate practices biodynamic agriculture on the plots. Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Gamay and Cabernet Franc are grown there, among other things. The winemaker François Plouzeau relies solely on his intuition during vinification. He describes his most important tool as follows: “My nose is my best advisor!”
