A delicious and light-hearted blend of Gamay, Grolleau and Côt (Malbec) from the Loire Valley. Not overly fruity, just a perfect "chillable" red great on its own or ideal with snacks or light meals. 

A blend of Côt, Cabernet Franc, Gamay that the Delecheneaus call "la vraie gourmandise (ad libitum en latin dans le texte)." They look for a straightforward expression of fruit from the three varieties. Maceration is not short at 18 days,...

Coralie and Damien Delecheneau’s Côt Vieilles Vignes is for me one of the greatest Loire Valley red wines. As a Côt, I consider it in the league of Cosse-Maisonneuve’s Marguerite. Côt also known as Malbec is a misunderstood grape: far...

Mikael was able to get cuttings from the famed Clos Roche Blanche Côt vineyard, and this "French Claret" is made entirely from those vines he planted. A beautiful expression of Côt (aka Malbec), with fine tannins and black fruit. 

(We tasted this wine over 4 days - recorked, in the fridge - it got better and better gaining density and complexity - beautiful wine!) The delicious 2022 Tessier Chevery Rouge is from 15 to 40 year-old vines of 70%...

The delicious 2023 Tessier Cheverny Rouge is from 15 to 40 year-old vines of 65% Pinot Noir, 30% Gamay and 5% Cot grown in sandy clay soils. Wild yeasts, of course, and aging in old barrels with minimal SO2 added,...

Toc is a pun for Côt, one of the single-variety cuvées made by Simon and Philippe Tessier in their organic estate of Sologne. Côt, or Malbec, is one of the grapes authorised in the Cheverny AOC but as the appellation...

The tasty 'Vin Rouge' from Zoe and Thierry Puzelat is a blend of Côt, Gamay, and Pineau d'Aunis in 2023. Usually made from purchased, "negoce" fruit, this vintage is made almost entirely with estate fruit. A delicious, fresh red, perfect...

90% Côt/10% Gamay. La Guerrerie is a flat, clay-rich site co-planted with Côt, aka Malbec, and Gamay in the 1980's. Dark red/garnet color, light and lovely, very floral aromas of raspberry and blackberry that darken with aeration, with earth, white...
