Winemaker Description

The Millet family founded La Gemire in 1981 on the slopes of the Loire Valley. Since 2000, heirs Sbastien and Nicolas have carried on the tradition of working their 19-hectare vineyard with a profound respect for the terroir.

The pebbly terrain called La Caillote is composed of clay, limestone, white soil Terres Blanches, and red earth Terres Rouges.

As soon as the grapes are harvested, they are pressed and juices flow by gravity into tanks. Must is racked 48 hours later, then preserved for 4 to 7 days before fermentation. Thermo regulated alcoholic fermentation. Lees aging 8-9 months.

Pronounced aromas of gooseberry, fresh grass, and ripe quince. Crisp and
refreshing on the palate, with notes of melon and citrus.

Perfect wine as an aperitif, or paired with shellfish, salads, seafood, and mild
cheeses.
