This 2023 red from the Loire Valley is made from Genouillet, a grape once planted on 3,000 hectares around Issoudun in Indre that nearly vanished after phylloxera. It is a fruity wine with hints of spice and a bright acidity. It was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel, with gentle pump-overs and a week of maceration after fermentation ended. Only 3,082 bottles were made. The grapes came from a colleague's vines, as the half-hectare at the estate's Les Gauchères site was due to come into production in 2023.
Jean Tatin and Chantal Wilk started Domaines Tatin more than 20 years ago, and their daughter Maroussia joined in 2010. They make wine only from their own vineyards, including 23 producing hectares in Quincy under Domaine du Tremblay. Their farming is sustainable, with grass planted between the rows to control vine vigor and minimal vineyard treatments.
