Benoit Courault 'Le Verger de l'Étang' Rouge, 2022 walnut or on its own withThis is made from 75% Grolleau and 25% Pineau D'Aunis. Light, juicy, and savory, but with incredible depth and structure. We would pair it with katsudon over rice with a fried egg and steamed cabbage on top. Benoit Courault is not the son of a winemaker, but went to study wine early on, working in the Beaune until 2006 when he found 5 hectares of vines in the Loire, and has never looked back.
