Domaine Philippe Tessier Toc Cot 2022

Alcohol: 12%

Grape(s): Côt 

Localization: Cheverny, Loire Valley, France

Tasting Notes: Dark purple, the usual color of Malbec, the wine has a powerful bouquet of violet, elderberry, blackberry liqueur and dried thyme. On the palate, the attack is round and easy, with blackberry and cherry fruit, then the vibrant acidity appears and plays with the gentle tannins, finishing with ripe, chalky fruit. Despite this ripeness, it is not heavy at all, but quite refreshing and lively so serves quite cool.  Delicious wine and highly recommended

The Domain: Domaine Tessier was founded in 1961 by Roger Tessier, with his son Philippe taking the reins 20 years later in 1981. They are located in the heart of the Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny AOCs and have 23 ha of vines.

The vineyard exists in a microclimate that keeps the vineyards cool, situated between the Loire River and the forest of Cheverny, Chambord and Solonge and has been Ecocert certified since 1998.

Philippe believes that a wine should be the expression of the place from which it comes and should reflect the climatic conditions of the year and the vigneron that produces it, while respecting the soil's life and the environment. He believes that it should give pleasure but must also be sound and healthy, alive and digestible and above all, it should be a natural wine.
