2024 Les Vignerons Saint Pourcain La Ficelle
$49.00
Description
WINEMAKER: Sylvain Miniot
REGION: Saint-Pourçain, FR.
VARIETY: Gamay, Pinot Noir
VITICULTURE: Minimal Intervention
Gamay + Pinot Noir blend. 30 years ago before the region was even AOC the co-operative of Saint Pourcain ‘borrowed’ the idea from Mouton Rothschild of launching this wine with a new label each year. In keeping with the approachable nature of this wine it’s always a cartoonist invited to paint the label. La Ficelle means ‘the string’. Story goes that the barkeep would use a knotted string to dip into a patrons flagon to see how much wine they had enjoyed before the bill. A classic ‘Vin de Soif.
A blend of 70% Gamay and 30% Pinot Noir, this wine hails from the Saint-Pourçain region in France, a place near Loire Valley where history and tradition meet light-hearted fun. Strawberry, cranberry and cherry notes on the nose, a fine dusty tannin. Juicy and jubey.

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.
