Domaine Ogereau, L'Enjouée rouge, 2021

Domaine Ogereau’s L'Enjouée rouge 2021 is a joyful, light-footed Loire red made for immediate pleasure. With its blend of Cabernet Franc, Gamay and other classic local grapes, it delivers pure fruit, freshness and a wonderfully gentle style that makes it especially easy to love.

Tasting Notes
Bright ruby in the glass, this wine opens with dancing aromas of red cherries, strawberry compote, rose petals and a vivid mix of berries, lifted by hints of green pepper, mint candy and soft herbal spice. It is lively and supple on the palate, with bright acidity and the mildest tannins giving it a smooth, refreshing feel. The flavor profile is all about juicy summer berries, redcurrant jelly, blueberry juice, liquorice root and a touch of blood orange, with subtle vegetal notes of grass and menthol in the background. Best enjoyed young for its fresh, fruit-driven charm, though it should hold well for a short to medium period if stored properly.

Production
The grapes come from several schist-rich parcels in Saint-Lambert-du-Lattay in Anjou, a terroir that helps preserve freshness while adding subtle mineral tension. The fruit is harvested by hand, and the wine is made with a blend of 30% Cabernet Franc, 40% Grolleau, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Gamay and 10% Pineau d’Aunis. Partial semi-carbonic fermentation was used for the Gamay and Pineau d’Aunis, followed by a short maceration to extract color and aroma without losing the wine’s delicate, juicy style. It was then aged in underground concrete tanks to protect its clean, vibrant and fruit-forward character.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 12-14°C, to highlight the wine’s freshness and red-fruit lift. It is a natural match for charcuterie, roast chicken, grilled vegetables, salmon, light tapas and casual summer fare. Decanting is not necessary, though opening it a little before serving can help the aromatics unfold.
