Loire

Floral and lovely on the nose, this is a natural expression of Gamay from the Loire. Lively crimson color. Translucent, yet concentrated. Raspberry and purple fruits backed by good minerality and complexity. Christian Venier is a rising star in the Loire. Influenced by his cousins Thierry and Jean-Marie Puzelat, he took to the job of non-interventionist, natural biodynamic farming and winemaking, and makes some of the most unique wines in the region. Winemaking Details: Carbonic maceration, natural yeast

This cuvée originates from soils rich in amphibole.  It is vinified with a very short time on its lees.  This makes the wine lively and fresh.  Jo Landron, the owner winemaker of the Domaine uses no chemicals, harvests by hand and adheres to biodynamic farming practices.

Olivier Cousin is one of our favorite Loire vignerons, with a gentle disposition and salt n' pepper beard. Cousin's horse, Joker, plows the vineyards. His wines are the epitome of natural. Breton is the local moniker for Cabernet Franc. Funky and wild (in a good way) tastes like ripe plums, chalky mineral, earth and mushrooms. Winemaking Details: Wild Yeast Fermentation, Unfiltered, Unfined, Low SO2 Added, Vegan

Aromas of orchard fruits, honey and beeswax. A touch of marzipan adds depth to the dry, crisp finish. A fantastic sparkling made from well-ripened grapes to avoid dosage. Admire its gorgeous and long-lasting beads while you sip. While it's lovely on its own, this one can take you through from appetizers to entrees!
