🏰 The 2022 Ferme de la Sansonnière Vin de France Les Gelinettes is a rare and highly sought-after biodynamic red wine from the Loire, celebrated for its 【beguiling elixir crafted by a true genius, packing a wallop of powerful, dark fruit and savory spice into an elegant, silky frame】. This wine is primarily a blend of Grolleau Noir, with smaller percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon and Gamay, grown on rocky, schist soils. It undergoes spontaneous fermentation and aging in wooden vats and neutral barriques, bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur. Tasting notes reveal a captivating and effusive nose of brambly blackberry, black currant, ripe plum, mellow spice, and a touch of licorice. The palate offers densely concentrated, almost sappy, dark berry fruits floating over a core of supportive velvety tannins and bright, raspberry-tinged acidity. 🍴 This immensely versatile red wine transitions easily from light hors d'oeuvres to bold roasts and root vegetables. It pairs perfectly with shellfish, structured freshwater and saltwater fish, and pasta with sardines, raisins, and pine nuts. It's also described as a quintessential turkey day wine. 🥂 Ideal for Thanksgiving festivities, a special dinner with friends, or any occasion where a unique, biodynamic red with both freshness and gravitas is desired. Its rarity makes it a special treat for devoted followers of natural wines.
