Chenin Blanc, Aligoté, Aveyron, France | A brand new thrilling wine to the Carmarans lineup! Winemaker Nicolas was born in Aveyron, brought up in Paris & operated a well known Parisian natural wine bar before becoming a vigneron. 50% chenin blanc from a younger vineyard beside his home, and 50% aligoté purchased from the Macôn. Direct pressed separately, settled for one night, then transferred to wood barrels for fermentation & maturation. A perfect partnership of the rich and fleshy chenin with the tart minerality from the aligoté. Matchstick, fermenting lemons, sweaty spice, powdery pollen, dried coconut package, citric acid prickles & pineapple-marshmallow salad. Pour alongside all the best things – mac n’ cheese, leg warmers, 80’s David Bowie & rose gold jewellery.

Chenin Blanc, Aveyron, France | A terribly exciting chenin, opening one is like a new Julia Ducournau film being released. Winemaker Nicolas is originally from Aveyron, raised in Paris & helmed a natural wine bar before moving to fermentation. Rare and expressive, Nicolas’s younger chenin blanc vines (10-16 years) are planted in a cold valley, in the more mountainous part of Carmaran’s terroir, where the land is held together by granite. Direct pressed then fermented & aged in neutral barrels. White flowers by the sea, stalagmite, lanolin, preserved lemon oil, sand, green apple skin candy, melting salty ice & a Sichuan floral stutter finish. Pour alongside stargazing & listening to sad cowboy music.
