The Grosbois brothers roamed the world before placing roots in the land of their ancestors. Nicolas, the eldest, made wine in New Zealand, Australia, Oregon, and Chile, while Sylvain, his younger brother explored winemaking in Argentina, Italy, Spain, and Australia. They returned full of knowledge and ideas, joining a new generation of winemakers in the Loire Valley. The land of the domaine has always been one of polyculture, which today provides for the cultivation of organically grown vegetables and wheat crops. Thanks to the spirit of local farmers and the Grosbois family, the domaine is one of the only farms in the region to have been able to resist the temptation of dividing the land, leaving intact the biodiversity of the plot.
Dark raspberry and redcurrant, graphite, leafy spice, and a subtle pyrazine snap, framed by fine, supple tannins. Bright acidity and a clean mineral line keep the wine taut and fresh.
