A gorgeous red wine made from Pineau d'Aunis, a local red grape that makes for a fragrant, peppery, lively wine.

Pair with crispy, pan-fried fish.

Staff Pick Notes

When people first learn about Pinneau d’Aunnis, their assumption is it's related to Pinot Noir. The mistake is understandable: both varieties grow in the cool, eastern Loire, are vinified in a light-bodied style, and pair well with a range of spicy and savory foods. That said, Pineau d’Aunis has no genetic link to Pinot Noir but is quickly gaining favor with Pinot fans. One such advocate is Olivier Bellanger, a young winemaker growing the variety on 8 hectares of vineyards near his native village in Thesée. Mon Tout Rouge, his homage to Pineau d’Aunis, is a beautiful expression of the variety: aromas of white pepper and cherry give way to a light, peppery, and bright palate that’s as refreshing as it is unexpected. Mon Tout is perfect spring wine - structured, but equally good with a chill. Who needs Pinot Noir anyway?!?

Glossary

Loire

There’s a lot to remember when it comes to the Loire. Novices, take note: Cabernet Franc is a great alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscadet is unparalleled as a companion to shellfish, and Cour Cheverny is the best white wine appellation you’ve never heard of. As diverse as Loire wines are, one day soon you'll know your Melon de Bourgogne from your Romorantin.
