Vintage: 2021
Type: Red
Deboutbertin is a small-scale, natural wine project based in the Loire Valley, France. Winemakers Stéphanie and Vincent Deboutbertin are committed to minimal intervention, organic farming, and harnessing the pure expression of their terroir. Their wines are known for their vibrant, mineral-driven character and refreshing acidity. Baliverne has deep berry fruits with hints of fir, thyme, clove and vine leaf. Sapid and quite intense, this is ever-changing, turning brighter and more well defined with aeration. Little wonder why this holds a special place in the owners' hearts, not least for its surprising complexity, balance and levity. A brilliant Grolleau archetype which vindicates the view shared by most talented vignerons in the region who consider it the quintessential Loire variety. No SO2 added.
