Domaine Bobinet Les Gruches 2015
Saumur, Loire, FranceSebastien and Emeline Bobinet are in high demand for their low-interventionist wines )all the rage in Paris, London and the like), so to have a few cases on our shores is a big win. Stock up! The couple organically farm seven hectares in Saumur, (along with their horse plow) and with vines ranging from 25-80 years of age. Wild yeast fermented, sans additives, and aged in old 300L wood before being bottled unfined and unfiltered, this lays on a clay and herbal base, creamy with wild herbs and a cut of anise. Very light waxy, hazelnut, yellow plum throughout the flow to the pithy finish. This lacks chenin's shearing cut of acid, but shows up with a honeyed, dense form to impress.Tasted: 08 May 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $35.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
