Domaine de la Cotelleraie - G. ValléeLa Croisée 2020

About this wine

This Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley is the kind of wine that makes you fall in love with French reds all over again. Gérald Vallée crafted something special here, a wine that's both approachable and elegant, perfect for those moments when you want something genuine without any fuss.

The nose opens with fresh red fruits and delicate floral notes that invite you in. On the palate, you'll find a generous mouthfeel with ripe fruit flavors, supported by supple tannins and a mature texture that carries through to a pleasant finish. The drinkability here is exceptional, it's one of those wines that just flows.

Serve this beauty at 16-18°C alongside grilled sausages, a mushroom risotto, or a classic beef bourguignon. It's also wonderful with charcuterie and aged cheeses like Comté. This is the kind of wine that turns a simple Tuesday dinner into something worth remembering.
