2022 Damien Bureau Les Saulaies
Description
WINEMAKER: Damien Bureau
REGION: Loire Valley, FR
VARIETY: Chenin Blanc
VITICULTURE: Organic
Damien is one of the most precise and rigourous winemakers we have met. He is truly on the quest for natural perfection expressed through Chenin Blanc, Grolleau, Gamay and Pineau d’Aunis. The Domaine is in the village of Champ-sur-Layon, not far from the elegant town of Angers. This area offers a great advantage, being at the crossroads of 2 distinct geological zones, thus offering access to deep rich degrading schistes which give fire, as well as some classic pure clay limestone terroirs. Damien is a fervent zero intervention winemaker, but does not rest until each wine has gone through its course to ensure the bottled wine is as near perfection as possible. Patience is a must, with long fermentations and long barrel ageing, but when the wines are ready, we realise the wait was worth the while! With only 3 ha for the world, we are lucky to be able to offer you a taste of this tireless work.

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.
