Background

Lionel Gosseaume is a wine maker who has lured back to his birthplace after following a different path for many years. His vineyards jostle for position alongside the chateaux in the region. He boasts 36 hectares of which the majority is Sauvignon Blanc, but there's a bit of old vine Gamay which he uses for this fresh, crunchy, red-berry forward delight of a wine.
