2022 Domaine Serol 'Eclat de Granite' Cote Roannaise Loire

Winemaker Notes: Deliciously light and fruity. Dark cherry, bramble, and woodsmoke aromas touch the nose. A bright acidity is balanced against a silky mouthfeel and rounded finish that holds longevity on the palate.

Domaine Sérol famously produces a cuvée exclusively for the neighboring Michelin three-star restaurant ‘Troisgros’. The Sérols are great friends of the Troigros family: Michel Troigros co-owns the "Les Blondins" Vineyard with them. The Sérol property dates back to the 17th century and was passed from generation to generation. When Stéphane and Carine took over in 1998, the domaine totaled 12 hectares; with the Sérol/Troisgros partnership, they are now farming 28 hectares and have converted the domaine to organic/biodynamic viticulture.
