ABOUT THE WINE

“Les Blondins” is a collaborative project between the renowned Troisgros culinary family and the Sérol family, one of the leading names in the Côte Roannaise. Crafted from Gamay grown on granite soils in the upper Loire Valley, the wine expresses the freshness, energy, and understated complexity that define this emerging appellation.

The vineyards benefit from a cool continental climate and high-altitude exposure, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly while retaining vibrant acidity and aromatic precision. Farmed with deep respect for the environment, the fruit is harvested carefully to preserve freshness and site expression.

Vinification focuses on minimal intervention and purity, with gentle extraction and aging designed to highlight the wine’s bright fruit character and mineral backbone rather than oak influence. The 2023 vintage offers juicy notes of wild strawberry, red currant, crushed herbs, and stone, balanced by an elegant structure and refreshing finish.

Versatile and food-friendly, “Les Blondins” pairs beautifully with roast poultry, charcuterie, grilled vegetables, salmon, mushroom dishes, and classic bistro fare.
