Description

In the Loire Valley, Malbec is known as “Côt”  and is as different stylistically as … well, France and Argentina. This entry, from winemaker  Anne Cecile Jadaud hails from an organic vineyard planted on sandy, clay, and loam soils in Francueil. Hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts in fiberglass vats, then aged in wood for 10 months, the finished wine is full of rich, brambly red and black berries, wildflowers, and just the right amount of spice. The tannins are supple and backed by mouthwatering freshness, stony minerality, and a finish that just keeps going. This is a great option for roasted chicken, lamb, or pork dishes, but it will also shine alongside barbecue.

Domaine Perrault-Jadaud

Domaine Perrault-Jadaud, a partnership between oenologist Anne-Cécile Jadaud and viticulturist Tanguy Perrault, began in 2008 after the couple met while teaching at Amboise. Anne-Cécile spent ten years as a consulting enologist in the south of France before returning to the Loire to teach and farm vineyards with her partner. Tanguy, a former student of philosophy and a native of Breton, cider country, also spent ten years working in viticulture before beginning his work with Anne-Cécile. The couple now work approximately eight hectares of organically farmed vines spread across 15 small parcels near their home and winery in Chançay, in the northeastern portion of Vouvray. Anne-Cécile and Tanguy prefer to use as little SO2 as possible.
