2018 Domaine Sérol Côte Roannaise Eclat de Granite

	Refined, juicy, fruity gamay
	The ideal summer wine, slightly chilled
	Delicious with charcuterie or creamy cheeses

Domaine Serol, Cote Roannaise

At the foot of the Massif Central, Stéphane and Carine Sérol make 29 hectares of vineyards, a series of beautiful wines that have an excellent reputation in the better French gastronomy. Although much closer to Fleurie than, for example, Sancerre, the AOP Côte Roannaise is nevertheless part of the Loire wine region. The bottom contains a lot of granite and the wines are fresh-mineral. An ideal combination for making a style wine that more and more enthusiasts know. No oak, pure fruit expression and because of its freshness, wonderfully drinkable. This is the wine with charcuterie, cheeses and baguettes.

Cuvee Eclat de Granite

Éclat de granite is an excellent fresh red gamay (Saint Romain variant). The grapes are harvested by hand and ferment in cement cuves with the natural yeast. After this, the Éclat de Granite matures for another 6 months in the same cuves and is bottled after a light filtering.

Full red in color with slightly purple nuances; spicy fruity fragrance with spices and blackberries. The taste starts smoothly with a fresh development and ends with a balanced finish with light tannin. Full, but smooth red wine, delicious to drink slightly chilled with cold starters or grilled dishes.
