Tasting Notes
This Loire Grolleau is so about bright and ripe fruits, growing in palate intensity as it opens. Taste is sweet cherry fruit with enough structure from acid sizzle and silky chalk tannin. I remember getting the same feel from old style field blends. A classic French bright and breezy Wine Bar or Bistro style. 11.5% alc. - Michael L
Francois St-Lô is quickly becoming a rising star in the world of natural wine; quite a feat considering his first vintage was only in 2012. After apprenticing for Olivier Cousin, Baptiste Cousins' father, he managed to acquire a magical place in the Anjou region of the Loire. With a labyrinth of underground caves, an almost prehistoric cellar and an 18th century wine press, Francois manages to make transformative, character filled wines using his few hectares in Anjou. - Importer Note
