Valençay area of France’s Loire valley produces a singular. More often than not, the hidden values of the world of wine are discovered along the road less traveled, far from the common crowd.
Produced from the region’s three main varieties: Gamay, Pinot Noir, and Côt (the local name for Malbec),with the lightness and elegance of its high percentage of pinot noir, plus a wonderful floral quality, it also reveals its leaner, more structured “Malbec” side.
Succulent flavors of raspberries, black currant, and spice. The archetypal “country wine,” intrinsically designed for drinkability, it would be ideal with roast chicken, any kind of barbecue— or, even better, a nice chalky slice of Valençay cheese.
