Vincent Giraudon “Tentation” Gamay – Côte Roannaise, Loire
From the volcanic foothills of the upper Loire, Vincent Giraudon’s Tentation is an irresistibly vibrant take on Gamay- lively, expressive, and brimming with the energy that has made the Côte Roannaise one of France’s most exciting under-the-radar regions. Farmed sustainably and made with a gentle touch, this cuvée is all about purity and drinkability.
The nose is fragrant and inviting, with notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, and a hint of peppery spice. On the palate, Tentation is juicy and mouthwatering: light to medium bodied, softly textured, and lifted by bright, refreshing acidity. A subtle mineral thread- typical of the region’s granite soils - keeps the finish clean and lively.
Crunchy, charming, and wonderfully expressive, Tentation is a standout value Gamay and a perfect introduction to the hidden gems of the Côte Roannaise.
