More About Vins-Clairs Touraine Côt Manu

Vins-Clairs Touraine Côt "Manu" is a red wine from the Touraine AOC in France's Loire Valley, crafted from the Côt grape, locally known as Malbec. This varietal thrives in the region's flinty clay soils, producing wines that are expressive and approachable. While specific tasting notes for "Manu" aren't readily available, Touraine Côt wines typically exhibit vibrant red and black fruit flavors, such as blackberry and plum, complemented by floral and earthy undertones. They are known for their medium body, smooth tannins, and a fresh, lively acidity, making them versatile for food pairings.

The "Manu" cuvée is part of the Vins-Clairs portfolio, which features wines from vignerons dedicated to sustainable practices and expressing the unique character of their terroir. These producers focus on minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar, aiming to produce wines with authenticity and a strong sense of place.

Touraine Côt wines like "Manu" pair well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty stews. Their balance of fruitiness and acidity also complements cheeses and charcuterie.

Meet the Producer, Vins Clairs

Vins Clairs

Style: Wine Importer

The phrase “vins clairs” traditionally refers to the still base wines used before Champagne undergoes its second fermentation. In this case, however, Vins Clairs is a wine project built around growers, regional identity and wines that feel strongly connected to where they come from.

Working with producers across France and parts of Europe, the focus sits firmly on artisanal wines, organic farming and growers who place vineyard expression ahead of heavy manipulation. The language throughout the project revolves around terroir, family traditions and wines that genuinely reflect their origins.

The portfolio stretches across regions including Burgundy, Jura, Alsace, Loire, Beaujolais and the Rhône, covering everything from mineral whites and elegant reds through to skin-contact wines and Champagne. Rather than pushing a single house style, the emphasis remains on showcasing different growers and places.

What makes Vins Clairs interesting is that it feels driven by curiosity rather than trend-chasing. The wines are selected because they tell stories about vineyards, regions and people rather than because they fit neatly into marketing categories.

The best wine merchants often feel like guides rather than salespeople. Vins Clairs sits comfortably in that territory.
