LA COUDRAIE

Barré Frères à Gorges


A region of transition both in terms of its climate and soils, the West of Touraine is under the influence of the ocean and is adapted to Chenin and Cabernet Franc, whereas the East is under a continental influence where Pinot Noir, Gamay and Chardonnay flourish. Soils are mostly made of clay, flint, chalks, alluvial sands, terrace gravels. This diversity allows the cultivation of all kinds of varieties.

- For whites: Chenin, Menu Pinot, Sauvignon, Chardonnay
- For reds: Gamay Beaujolais, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Pinot d’Aunis, Cot, Grolleau, Pinot Gris, Gris Meunier.

Within this abundance of varieties the main appellations are Bourgueil, Saint Nicolas de Bourgueuil, Chinon, Touraine Sauvignon and Touraine Gamay.

Sharing origins with Beaujolais, moslty lying on flinty clays Touraine Gamay is especially adequate with roasted lard, saussages and ham.

It has inherited from Touraine a lively and light outline which go well with Loire, Cher or Atlantic fried fish.
