Gamay grown at 400 to 530 metres on granite, in a mid-mountain appellation most people have never heard of — this is the Loire's answer to a great cru Beaujolais, and it comes from one of Côte Roannaise's benchmark estates. Stéphane Sérol took over the family domaine in 1996, cleared and replanted the best hillsides, and deliberately stuck with the historic local strain, Gamay Saint-Romain, partly to keep it from disappearing. Éclat de Granite is his blend of granite-soil parcels — sandy, gravelly, rocky — with vines ranging from the mid-1930s to the mid-2000s, farmed organically and biodynamically with hand work and composted manure made on the estate. The winemaking is deliberately transparent: hand-harvested fruit sorted at the winery, concrete tanks filled by gravity with 20% whole clusters, indigenous yeasts, a slow 15 to 20 day maceration, then 11 months in cement. No oak anywhere, which is exactly right for a wine whose whole point is the crunch and lift of granite. At 12.5%, it's the kind of red you can drink a lot of without thinking about it — though there's plenty here to think about.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken with mustard, charcuterie and cornichons, lentils with sausage, a mushroom tart, steak frites, or a pork terrine. Slightly chilled, it's also very good with grilled salmon or a plate of cured ham.

Tasting Profile

Bright red fruit — raspberry, red cherry, a little crushed strawberry — with a peppery, faintly stony edge. Light to medium bodied, fresh and juicy, with lively acidity and fine, soft tannins. No oak flavor at all; the finish is clean, mineral and dry, and it's even better with a light chill.
