🍷 One More Day of Summer – A French Wine Tour Before the alarm clocks, packed lunches, and “responsibility coats” return, we’re stealing one last carefree day. Imagine yourself in France this week, not the formal, museum-painting France, but the barefoot-on-the-terrace version, where the glasses are frosty, the breeze is warm, and laughter drifts through the air. We’ll wander through the countryside sipping light, refreshing wines meant for chilling—bright, easy-drinking styles that taste like sunshine and lazy afternoons. These are the wines for barefoot picnics, balcony sunsets, and conversations that stretch longer than the evening. So, set the calendar aside, ignore the to-do lists, and toast with us to that final, delicious day of summer freedom before real life calls again.
Mas de Daumas Gassac Guilhem Rosé Languedoc-Roussillon France 2024 40% Grenache, 40% Carignan, 20% Cinsault. Floral aromas layered with citrus, zesty lemon and lime, apricot, peach, and melon. The palate delivers bright red currants, wild strawberries, and pink grapefruit, underpinned by a touch of wet stone and a subtle saline edge.
Domaine Saint-Cyr La Galoche Rose Gamay Beaujolais France 2024 100% Gamay. Aromas and flavors of strawberry, raspberry, watermelon, sour cherry, citrus, orange peel, peach, apricot, and minerals. This wine is fairly light body rose with medium plus acidity which gives a refreshing lift to a medium finish.
Clos Palet Chenin Blanc Vouvray France 2023 100% Chenin Blanc. Pronounced aromas of honeysuckle, and acacia flowers with bruised yellow apple, sweet bosc pear, apricot, melon, lemon, citrus, mineral. Additional flavors include chamomile, tangerine, quince, almond, and marzipan. Bright high acidy that is balanced by the slight off dry sweetness and the lees aging roundness.
Boutinot Wines Uva Non Grata Gamay France 2023 100% Gamay. This is bouncy, soft and ripe. A no-fuss wine that is an irresistible fruit bomb packed with amazing aromas and delicious soft red berry flavors. A truly gorgeous drink.
