Grololo Blanc

Pithon-Paillé

The white Grololo is a fascinating cuvée for Loire lovers: it plays host to the holy trinity of Loire white varieties! This bottle contains Melon de Bourgogne from Muscadet, Chenin Blanc from Anjou, and Sauvignon Blanc from Touraine—a right to left reading of the river's finest whites. Grapes are farmed biodynamically to show a clear window into their place, each one being vinified separately and rested in oak vats for a year before blending right before bottling. The result is a golden hued wine showing the charming aromatics of Sauvignon, the body and greenery of Melon de Bourgogne, and the tension and power of Chenin.
