Domaine Gigou Coteaux du Loir L'Ancêtre 2013 Vintage:2013 while summer progressed with generallyOur Tasting Impressions (Updated) Though you may never of heard of the wine or the grape, this is a serious wine from seriously old vines. At more than 12 years old, it light bodied but deep. The color is pale and rusty. The nose offers rustic, zesty, red fruit with a hint of char. It's very fleshy and a smoky note adds real interest through the long finish. A wine of enormous character that still seems in the prime of its life. About this wine 100%
