2019 Sylvain Martinez Gazouillis

The truly humble Sylvain Martinez continues to impress with his zero-zero wines from the Anjou. Organically farmed and made without additions of any kind, they are pure, intensely mineral and even more enjoyable. Tiny quantities. 

"I love this wine every year and apart from the otherworldly 2013, the '19 is the best yet. Off-dry, complex and compellingly acidic, this is sublime wine. Extremely good as an aperitif but really quite transporting when enjoyed with a meal. Sylvain harvests and bottles this wine with the express aim of the fermentation not running all the way to dryness.....even after several years in bottle. As you can imagine, it's a very tricky style to make when not using sulphur or filtration but Sylvain manages to do it almost year in year out. Brilliant young, but also totally age worthy. Amazing wine." - Campbell Burton, importer
