This Wine: Natural rosé wine with a clean and precise character. Summer berries combine with peppery notes synonymous with the Pineau d'Aunis grape variety. There is a lovely purity of fruit alongside refreshing minerals.

Notes on the Winemaker: Marie comes from a natural wine lineage that connects her back to Marcel Lapierre. He father released publications on the legendary Beaujolais winemaker and she even assisted in a number of harvests at the famous domaine back in the 1990s. Initially following her father's footsteps in publishing, she eventually decided to become a winemaker herself in 2018. All fruit is purchased but predominantly from the same organic grower that she is close to so she knows the vines like they are her own. The wines are clean and precise with a wonderful purity of fruit.
