This Rosso Coteaux du Giennois from Domaine les Ormousseaux presents an elegant, straightforward profile, suited to those seeking a wine to enjoy without excess. In the glass it shows a medium-intensity ruby red; on the nose, notes of ripe red fruit, light herbaceous hints and spicy touches give the bouquet coherence and appeal. On the palate it offers good drinkability: moderate tannins, balanced acidity and medium body support the fruit flavors without overpowering them, leaving a clean, pleasant finish.
Ideal to accompany everyday dishes such as seasoned white meats, mushroom-based mains or medium-aged cheeses. Serve slightly chilled compared with room temperature, in a generous glass that promotes aromatic expression. It is suitable for consumption in the months following purchase; for a more immediate experience, open the bottle and let it breathe for a few minutes.

The winery
Domaine Les Ormousseaux
Bourgogne‑Franche‑Comté (Nièvre) — Pouilly‑Fumé area on the Loire River (Pouilly‑Fumé appellation).France
Domaine Les Ormousseaux — organic producer of Pouilly‑Fumé and Coteaux du Giennois wines; vineyards located at the La Roche lieu-dit (Tracy‑sur‑Loire).
The story
In the 1980s the estate expanded into Pouilly‑Fumé (Tracy‑sur‑Loire) with parcels at La Roche and Les Froids. Clément Jolivet officially took over the domaine in April 2021; the 2024 vintage is noted on the domaine website as the first certified organic vintage.
Production philosophy
Organic viticulture and sustainable practices; a low-intervention winemaking approach to showcase the terroir: gentle whole-bunch pressing, separation of press fractions, fermentation in stainless tanks, 600L French oak barrels and 220L Wineglobes; aged one year on fine lees.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards: 13.89 ha of Pouilly‑Fumé at the La Roche lieu-dit (Tracy‑sur‑Loire). Two main parcels: Les Froids and Le champ de l'abreu, planted on former flint quarries; Cretaceous flint‑rich clay soils that give minerality and tension to the wines.
