Finot Freres 2022 Vin de France Tracteur Rouge

Thomas Finot in the Coteaux Grésivaudan made the vibrant 2022 Tracteur Rouge from 35% Persan, 35% Gamay, 25% Pinot noir and 5% Merlot.  The wine shows a lovely bright red color and pretty aromas of black cherry and plum skin with hints of violet, earth and spice. The palate is bright, supple and complex,  showing silky, earthy strawberry and red currant fruit with a nice lift of sappy  berry fruits, earth, herbal notes and citrus in the long finish. It's lovely, and very refreshing, served quite cool, with charcuterie, burgers, chicken and cheeses from Comté to Raclette. Bravo to Thomas Finot for making such a delicious wine at a great price!
