Emmanuel Ogereau is making killer wines in Anjou, following in his father's footsteps, but taking a little different approach. The domaine was born in the late 1890s, when Emmanuel’s great-great grandfather, a miller and a farmer, planted vines after the phylloxera crisis to further diversify his production. Two generations later, Emmanuel’s grandfather was able to focus fully on the vineyards and the sales of his wine in bulk to a private clientele. Emmanuel’s father, Vincent, began estate-bottling. Emmanuel was born in 1989. He grew up in the cellar and loved everything about it; he never thought of trying his hand at anything else.
“Enjouée” means playful or joyful, a perfect descriptor for this vibrant, fresh wine. Vincent and Emmanuel Ogereau both play the tuba, thus the nod to their preferred instrument on the label. This red blend is an absolute joy, spicy florals with fine texture and crisp red fruit.
