"Crunchy and delicious
Gamin rouge is a wine largely dominated by Syrah, with beautiful concentration and spicy notes. The fruit is expressive, revealing the excellent ripeness of the grapes. A lovely, harmonious wine with well-integrated tannins. A must-try!

Domain noted (guide 2024) Selection Alexis Goujard
About the domain :
In 1998, Roger Mézy replanted 3.5 hectares of vines on the beautiful terroir of the Triadou commune, for his son Frédéric, then a physics and chemistry student with a passion for vines and wine. Frédéric took over the business, soon joined by his wife Pauline. After various acquisitions, including a number of old plots, the estate now boasts 58 hectares of beautiful vines, spread over the different sectors of the Pic-Saint-Loup appellation. Geological variations - limestone scree, marl and rolled pebbles - allow us to play with our blends. The estate has been using biodynamic practices since 2007. The slightly marked woodiness and heavy extractions of the early days are a thing of the past. Today, the wines are much more balanced, digestible, typical and finely textured.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 20/04/2024
Medium-bodied, this springtime Pic-Saint-Loup is dominated by pretty, crisp, nervous red berries and sweet spices that intertwine in a fleshy, highly gourmand texture on a concentrated, straightforward frame. The whole is encircled by well-worked tannins that give freshness and bounce to the vibrant finish. Particularly easy to digest, this young Gamin was perfectly suited to caramelized racks of Aveyron pork and sautéed parsley salsify. Score = 3.9.
