Gamay Fléaux grape variety

A juicy, free-spirited red from the Loire, crafted by Caroline Gimenez, a winemaker who works her vines with real care and keeps things natural in the cellar. Grown on gentle Loire soils, the grapes are picked by hand and fermented with wild yeasts, with little to no sulphur added, so the fruit speaks for itself. Expect bright red berries, a hint of pepper and a lively, mouth-watering finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. Light on its feet and easy to love, it's perfect slightly chilled with charcuterie, grilled veg or a relaxed evening with friends.

Caroline Gimenez farms a handful of tiny plots in the Loire with real care: organic work in the vines, hand-picking, and nothing added that doesn't need to be there. This 2024 red is her easy-going, joyful side — whole bunches, a gentle infusion-style fermentation, no fining or filtering, barely a whisper of sulphur. You get crunchy red berries, a touch of pepper and that lively freshness the Loire does so well. Light, juicy and dangerously drinkable, it's happiest slightly chilled alongside charcuterie, grilled veg or a simple roast chicken. Pop it open with friends — it won't last long.
