Le Petit Domaine de Gimios 'Le Petit Rosé' 2023 no-wrapin

Le Petit Domaine de Gimios 'Le Petit Rosé' 2023 no-wrapinAn outrageously pretty ros from one of the most stirring natural winemakers in the south of France and Languedoc more specifically, Anne Marie Lavaysse of Domaine de Gimios. Her biodynamic wines do not have peer: soft, subtle, and shimmery, without lacking depth and substance; they feel somehow both ethereal and also substantial when smelling and drinking them. No exaggerations! This still ros from Lavaysses old vines farm is a stirring mix of local

like Savagnin from the not-too-distant Jura

typically a blending grape

which is a high rye (~15%)

widely considered one of the Loire’s greatest white wine designations

Their VSOP is aged a minimum of 7 years in French oak barrels and is all-natural color

and more affordable than equivalent quality grower Champagne

despite Cabernet no being part of their initial plan

It has been hailed by wine lovers as the perfect glass

with warming notes of shiitake mushroom
