Her wines are a reflection of the whole of the Loire, by selecting growers with a respect for the terroir and an adherence to the principles of organic viticulture. Her wines are all spontaneously fermented, with minimal elevage and a respect for the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrolleau is an ancient variety and the third most widely planted red grape in the Loire after Cabernet Franc and Gamay. The vast majority of Grolleau is used to add a gregarious fruitiness to red blends and sparkling wines but rarely gets top billing as a 100% pure, still red wine. Sadly, its acreage is decreasing, but luckily Pauline Lair sources some 60-year-old Grolleau Noir planted on sandy clay soils from grower Daniel Macault in the Anjou. A natural-yeast fermentation, carbonic maceration, and aging in concrete preserve all the delicious charms of this unique variety – one which more people should have a chance to experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins de Loire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47263005540514,"sku":"13158","price":59.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/6533\/4178\/files\/15_3d72a325-fd65-484b-9c41-1f67af5395d7.png?v=1778639058","url":"https:\/\/spon.bar\/products\/2024-vins-de-loire-majorelle-grolleau-noir","provider":"Spön Bottle Shop and Wine Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
