Huit Launay 2023 is a captivating natural red from the Loire Valley, blending Gamay, Côt (Malbec) and a touch of Chenin. Juicy cherry and kirsch meet a velvety palate, lifted by gentle menthol freshness and a subtle forest-floor character.

Carbonic Gamay adds vibrancy, Côt brings depth, and Chenin offers finesse—making this an easy-drinking yet distinctive Loire red. Ideal for cosy evenings, relaxed dinners or a simple cheese-and-charcuterie night. A brief one-hour decant enhances its aromatic clarity.

Food pairing

Note: Huit-Launay is a natural wine with minimal filtration, which helps preserve its texture and flavor. As a result, some sediment may be present in the bottle; this is completely normal and does not affect the wine’s integrity.

We recommend allowing the wine to settle for about an hour after opening, and leaving a small amount of wine in the bottle to avoid transferring sediment into the final glass.
