Description
Delicious, light and earthen grolleau from Loire Valley icon Babass. Fragrant and peppery with dark fruit and lots of deliciously savoury varietal character.
Sébastien Dervieux (aka Babass) is a legendary figure operating in the epicenter of Anjou’s storied community of small-scale, organic farming and additive-free winemaking.
His three hectares of vines were first planted in the 1950s and 60s by the late Joseph Hacquet, who, along with his sisters Anne and Francoise, had been making totally additive-free wines for over 50 years before Babass and his peers started their domaines. Together with Pat Desplats, Babass established the Domaine des Griottes in the early 2000s, but has been working independently since 2010.
