“A true Côte Roannaise, typical of its granite soil, with beautiful aromatic complexity. An excellent wine!”
This single-vineyard Gamay Saint Romain reveals aromas of red fruit, spices, menthol, and licorice. On the palate, it displays lovely body and roundness, supported by supple, well-integrated tannins. A perfectly balanced intensity—a true Favorite (Wine shipped without a capsule)

Wine rated (2025 guide) 92/100 (2022 vintage)
Rated estate (2026 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Romain Payre has become one of the leading advocates of Gamay from the Côte Roannaise, where he has been excelling for several vintages now on his 21-hectare estate. The flagship wine is best enjoyed for its youthful fruitiness. The Clos Du Puy and Intégrale wines, which are suitable for moderate aging, are made from vines over 80 years old. This is a highly recommended and reliable estate, regardless of the wine.

About the estate:
Romain Paire, who has been working alongside his parents Georges and Denise since 2005, took over this long-established family estate in 2017. Founded in 1610 in the town of Villemontais, in the southern part of the appellation, the estate has been in the family for generations. Operated as a mixed farming and livestock operation (beef cattle), the estate—which comprises 23 hectares of vineyards—has been managed using organic and biodynamic methods since 2010. One of the (very) reliable choices in the Côte-Roannaise appellation.

About the estate:
Georges Paire, who came from a family of farmers, began planting his vineyard in the 1970s. In 2005, his son Romain joined him, and planting continued; the winemaking facilities were modernized, and the estate transitioned to organic farming. Today, the estate maintains a small herd of Limousin cows. We appreciate these refined and authentic wines: a modern and dynamic embodiment of the appellation.

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Posted on January 16, 2026
Well-structured, No. 6 2024 is not, however, the most concentrated vintage, though it remains appealing thanks to its dense, juicy, and fresh texture, full of spices and red berries with a slightly sharp acidity, wrapped in tight, refined tannins. After a short period of aging, it will develop a rich patina, making it a perfect pairing for a nice piece of grilled beef or, more simply, a mixed green salad with confit duck gizzards. Rating = 4.
