"A true Côte Roannaise, typical of its granite soil, with beautiful aromatic complexity. An excellent vintage!"
This single vineyard Gamay Saint Romain reveals aromas of red fruit, spices, menthol, and licorice. On the palate, it displays beautiful substance and roundness, carried by supple, mellow tannins. Perfectly controlled power—a true Favorite (Wine delivered without a capsule)

Wine rating (2025 guide) 92/100 (2022 vintage)
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.

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 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.
