The diversity of the grape varieties<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The AOP Touraine includes a wide range of grape varieties, even if some of them are quite dominant like sauvignon for white wines, and gamay, cabernet franc and c\u00f4t for red wines.<\/p>\n

 [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0ROS\u00c9 WINES<\/h3>\n

    \n
  • Fruity and light: Touraine Gamay<\/strong>: 85% minimum + cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir or c\u00f4t.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    These wines often have a cherry colored robe and generally reveal warm red berry notes with silky tannins. They are well balanced wines, light and delicate at the same time.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Fruity and structured: Touraine Rouge<\/strong>: 80% C\u00f4t or cabernet franc (must contain 15% c\u00f4t minimum) + cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir or gamay. By 2030, this type of wine will have to include a minimum of 50% c\u00f4t with no maximum limit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Strong and elegant wines, with a very good tannic structure. Notes of both red and black fruits, the robe goes from dark ruby to dark garnet.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

      Wines produced from the following grape varieties: chardonnay, chenin, cabernet, franc, grolleau, grolleau gris, orbois, pineau d’Aunis, pinot noir.<\/p>\n

The acidity comes with fruity notes. Hints of brioche can develop over time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

      \"\"\u00a0SPARKLING ROS\u00c9<\/h3>\n
