Description
Due south of Cheverny, Valencay is best known for it’s pyramid shaped Goats Cheese rather than wine, but that don’t let that put you off exploring the vinous offerings of this pretty part of the Loire valley. This wonderful, naturally produced red is vibrant, fresh and full of vitality. Made from a blend of Gamay (35%), Cot/Malbec (35%) and Pinot Noir (30%), the wine is fermented with natural yeasts and aged on it’s lees for 16 months in older neutral barrels. Delicate and very pretty, with succulent blackcurrant, raspberry and whiffs of spice flowing from nose to palate, this wine is utterly delightful and reflective of the varied flint, clay and silex soils in which the vines are planted.
Originally founded in 1960, the Jourdain estate has been run since 1990 by Sophie Siadou and her partner Francis Jourdain. Sophie originally came from Avignon to work on a goat farm, where she met Francis, and remained in Lye to raise a family and make wine. Together, they sustainably farm 28 hectares of vines, from which they craft their brilliant range of honest, regionally-expressive wines.

Gamay
The Beaujolais Villages 'Cuvee Six' from Caves De Julienas Chaintre just gets better and better with each vintage, showing soft, rounded red fruits and vibrant cherry flavours.
