Description

Thomas Batardière Amor Fati 2022

Thomas Batardière Amor Fati has notes of red berries and a hint of spice. A fine, fresh Grolleau that is too addictive.

100% Grolleau. The fruit comes from two plots in the Loire Valley, France: La Grande Rue – Rablay-sur-Layon – 2016 & Caseneuve – Champ-sur-Layon – 1970. The plots sit on a riverbed between the Britannic and Parisian continental plates, which yields a wide array of soils: clay, blue schist, quartz, degraded and eroded schist.

Manual harvesting. Maceration of whole bunches for half of the grapes for 3 days, without pumping over or cap punching. Direct pressing for the remaining half of the grapes. No clarification. Vinification without additional inputs of any kind. Natural and total malolactic fermentation. Vinification and maturation on lees in stainless steel vats for 12 months. Bottling without filtration.

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
