Domaine Serol
Domaine Serol, Turbullent, Cote Roannaise, France, Gamay, NV
Cote Roannaise is a higher elevation growing area just south of the Loire Valley, influenced by the Rhone Alps that specializes in growing Gamay. The gamay grown in Roannaise hits different from the gamay grown in Beaujolais; it’s not as fruit forward or juicy, airing more on the side of a lighter savory expression. This wine is a sparkling rose made from these very special gamay grapes. Being higher elevation, this is an area that is getting renewed attention due to climate changes in wine making regions, so it's going to be very interesting to see how it all evolves and plays out. I absolutely love the name of this wine: Turbullent aka Turbulence as in on an airplane and in reference to its sparkling nature. The wine is bubble gum pink, fresh, bright and eternally cheerful.
