Born from the collaboration between Geoffrey de Noüel and François Plouzeau, this wine is a blend that reflects their friendship.

Our take on this vintage

Upon opening and after aeration, the nose has a natural character, blending reductive notes (which quickly fade) with spicy red berries. The palate is round, fresh, and fruity, with a supple texture and a light effervescence that adds tension and liveliness. The finish offers a lively mouthfeel with tart fruit that lingers for a long time.

La Garrelière

Loire | France

Domaine de la Garrelière is a family-owned vineyard located in Razines in the Touraine region, run by François and Pascale Plouzeau on a hillside vineyard that enjoys optimal sunlight and a diverse terroir. The estate covers approximately 20 hectares and has been cultivated using biodynamic methods since 1993.

He produces red, white, and rosé wines under the Touraine appellation, using natural winemaking methods with indigenous yeasts and minimal intervention. Certain vintages, such as the Sauvignon or the Gamay “Sans Tralala,” showcase the distinctive aromas and freshness of their terroirs.

The wines of La Garrelière are characterized by their frank expression, their balance, and their ability to reflect the character of the limestone soils and the natural viticultural practices employed.
