2018 Domaine Les Poëte Reuilly Blanc Orphée
Description
WINEMAKER: Guillaume Sorbe
REGION: Loire Valley, FR
VARIETY: Sauvignon Blanc
VITICULTURE: Organic
"Biodynamically farmed grapes, hand-harvested and fermented in separate plots in small tanks and barrels. Elevage on fine lees for 12-18 months. Structured and developed, almost Burgundian expression of Sauvignon Blanc. Discreet, fine and elegant on the nose, floral, white fruits and slightly spicy. Lively grip then lots of volume, liveliness/roundness balance. Lots of flesh. Complexity, persistence and power, lots of reserve." - Paul Hervy
Guillaume Sorbe is one of the genuine stars of the Loire Valley, his eclectic and precise wines receiving regular acclaim and considered the Haute Couture of the region. Starting in 2007, his small-scale, artisanal and biodynamic cultivation has made the small volumes he produces highly sought after. Domaine Les Poëte today comprises 25 small cultivation lots with a total area of just over four hectares, each individual location vinified separately.

Born in Newtown
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
