Terroir: 
The vineyards are located at the foothills of the Madeleine Mountains in the Côte Roannaise appellation, part of the Loire Valley. The soils are primarily sandy, gravelly, and rocky granite, which contribute to the wine's distinctive mineral character. The region's volcanic origins add unique depth to the terroir.
Viticulture: 
Domaine de Sérol practices certified organic and biodynamic viticulture. The vineyard spans 8-10 hectares, with vines ranging from the mid-1930s to the mid-2000s. The high-density planting and careful management of the vines ensure high-quality grape production.
Winemaking: 
The winemaking process involves 25-50% whole-cluster fermentation with ambient yeast for 2-3 weeks, followed by short pump-overs twice daily. The wine is aged for 6-10 months in cement tanks and is lightly filtered before bottling. This method preserves the wine's natural characteristics and enhances its complexity.
Tasting Notes: 
"Éclat de Granite" is a vibrant and expressive Gamay wine. It offers aromas of red fruits such as cherry, strawberry, and raspberry, interwoven with savory herbs and wet stone. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied and silky, with bright acidity and a long, refreshing finish.
