A playfully aromatic red

This unique mashup of red grape varieties is co-fermented (meaning all of the grapes were vinified in one batch) and made using carbonic fermentation. With a touch of traditionally-made Cabernet Franc. This is a delicious French country wine that starts with a hint of funk on the nose, and then blossoms into sour cherry, rhubarb and plum. Les Joueurs de Nez means “the nose players” and it’s a reference to the complex and playful aromatics of the wine. 

Delicious With

Roast chicken, chicken tagine with apricots and olives, pork sausages, duck with plum sauce, beef stroganoff, hanger steak with chimichurri, grilled steak, meatloaf, and turkey with chestnut stuffing.

Their Cred

Domaine Perrault-Jadaud, a partnership between oenologist Anne-Cécile Jadaud and viticulturist Tanguy Perrault, began in 2008, after the couple met while teaching at the Lycée Viticole at Amboise. Tanguy bought an old wine press with the intention of making cider back in Brittany. The seller insisted that Tanguy make wine with the press and sold him a half acre of vines in Vouvray, near the Clos du Bourg. Growing from this tiny vineyard, the couple now work approximately eight hectares of organically-farmed vines spread across 15 small parcels near their home and winery in Chançay, in the northeastern portion of Vouvray. Anne-Cécile and Tanguy prefer to use as little sulfur as possible and have progressively dialed back its use over the years.
