Jackie Marteau | Touraine / Gamay "Lulu"
-Local Athens Pick-up Only-
This vibrant and elegant Gamay is produced by Domaine Jacky Marteau, situated in the renowned Touraine region of the Loire Valley, France. The winery, managed by Ludivine "Lulu" Marteau, is dedicated to sustainable farming and traditional winemaking practices, ensuring each bottle reflects the unique terroir of their vineyards.
"Lulu" Gamay is crafted through semi-carbonic maceration, combining hand-harvested, partially destemmed grapes with whole bunches. The wine is aged on fine lees until bottling, resulting in a fresh and mineral-driven profile. It showcases a bright ruby color with an aromatic bouquet of red berries, cherries, and floral notes. On the palate, it offers lively flavors of raspberries, strawberries, and a hint of spice, balanced by crisp acidity and supple tannins.
Pairings
This versatile Gamay pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including grilled poultry, charcuterie, and light pasta dishes. Its bright acidity and fruit-forward profile make it an excellent match for salads, roasted vegetables, and soft cheeses. Perfect for casual gatherings or as an aperitif, this wine is best enjoyed slightly chilled to highlight its refreshing qualities. -AO
