Domaine Jolivet Cuvee De Louis Rouge 2021

Domaine Jolivet Cuvée De Louis Rouge 2021 is a stunning expression from one of the most respected wineries in the Loire Valley. This red wine is crafted from carefully selected grapes grown in the prestigious vineyards of Domaine Jolivet, which are known for their terroir and attention to detail in winemaking. The 2021 vintage, in particular, shines with its perfect balance of freshness, structure, and complexity.

The wine is made primarily from Cabernet Franc and Gamay (with a possible addition of other local varietals), offering an aromatic profile that combines ripe red fruits like cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, with hints of spices, herbs, and a subtle earthy undertone. The palate is elegant and smooth, with a silky texture and vibrant acidity that adds freshness and lift. Soft tannins support the fruit, giving the wine structure while remaining approachable and food-friendly.

Aged in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak, the wine has a lovely purity of fruit without being overpowered by oak influence. The finish is clean and lingering, with a light, mineral edge that speaks to the quality of the terroir.

This wine is versatile with food pairings—perfect for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or even a simple charcuterie board. It is an excellent choice for those looking for a red with personality, freshness, and the ability to evolve in the glass.
