The fruit of Daniel Gatay's experience
Culture du Vin SARL GD Millésime is the product of Daniel GATAY’s passion for oenology : he has been discovering wines with great pleasure for 25 years, strengthened by his experience within Caves DUHARD, a wine cellar that has been run by 4 generations of specialists in quality aged wines, Touraine old vintages and French gastronomy.
Manager, Daniel offers his personal wine selection and carefully selects local products.
He chooses young wines based on the winemakers’ work, which he closely observes, to make sure they provide high quality products. Daniel gives a major importance to the typicity of the wines.
The wines to age that Daniel offers are selected and then are matured by Les Caves DUHARD or the winemakers, which are chosen according to the quality of their products and their wineries, for the Loire Valley wines. As for other regions in France (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, etc.), it is the result of the privileged partnership with wine professionals.
All the wines are closely observed, and their quality is guaranteed.
The restoration of the wines after a few decades in the cellar is carried out by me, according to the level of wine in the bottle.
This step is recommended, as the aging process consists of evaporation and slow oxidation of the liquid through the cap.
I also uncork the bottles one by one and test them. You have to redo the level with the same wine before recorking with a new cork.
Daniel helps you with :
- Getting quality wines that were especially selected and observed.
- Organizing parties or meetings with wine-related activities, customized for individuals, groups or business. (Wines from the Renaissance era till today, How to serve a Loire Valley wine, Gourmet discovery/experience, Time evolution of Wine)
- Buying quality rare wines.
- Investing in wine (whether it be an emotional investment or a financial one), selecting the perfect product with a possibility of storing in ideal conditions.
