" Gem the Loire region, where minerality meets fresh, delicate fruit."
"Gamay Saint-Romain at its best with this cuvée aged in concrete vats and truncated wooden vats from the estate's historic vines, planted on granitic sand. Romain Paire produces an intense red, fruity, mineral, and floral wine with a rich, full-bodied, and concentrated nose, but also very fresh and refined, supported by tannins that are well-integrated and perfectly balanced. Romain Paire produces an intense, fruity, mineral, and floral red with a rich, full-bodied, and concentrated nose, but also very fresh and refined, supported by velvety tannins and prolonged by a superb finish of licorice and menthol. A pulpy and complex wine, full-bodied and lively, with an irresistible deliciousness."

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2026 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Romain Payre has become one of the finest ambassadors for Gamay from the Côte Roannaise, where he has excelled for several vintages on his 21-hectare estate. The benchmark cuvée is best enjoyed young, while the Clos Du Puy and Intégrale cuvées are medium-aged wines made from vines over 80 years old. This is a highly recommended and reliable estate, whatever the cuvée.

Wine rating (2025 guide) 90/100 (Review no. 692 - July/August 2025)
Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About wine:
A true ode to Saint-Romain Gamay. The style is rich and generous, with a luscious texture that makes it particularly appealing.
About the estate:
Georges Paire, who comes from a family of farmers, began planting his vineyard in the 1970s. In 2005, his son Romain joined him and the plantations continued, the winery was modernized, and the estate turned to organic farming. Today, the estate still has a small herd of Limousin cows. We appreciate these carefully crafted, sincere wines: a modern and dynamic embodiment of the appellation.
