About the Wine

A pithier and darker, more savoury red than previous vintages from Jérôme. The two Cabernets really shine – liquorice, black olive, pepper – and this is lifted by the fruit of the Gamay and Grolleau. Cut through with a laser beam of fresh, mouth-watering acidity. Ticks all the boxes for exciting, rare and riveting!

About Jerome Saurigny

Jérôme began making wine in 2007 on hills around the Layon river which runs into the Loire a few kilometers from the domaine. After learning to make wine on a fairly commercial level Jérôme, under the influence of Babass and Pat Desplats from Domaine des Griottes, decided to make wine in the most natural way he could – he works his Chenin, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet vines without using chemicals and makes wine without adding a single thing.

Jerome Saurigny
Gröld 2021

As fans of this grape from the Layon area, this is plenty to get excited about. There is that taut, cheese wire of acidity that we look for, coiled tightly around a rich, opulent (grölden?) texture, bolstered by the grapes being briefly macerated on their skins at the start of the vinification. Daring, unconventional and most certainly under-the-radar Loire experimentalism. Find out more.

Più 2021

With a label that gives the impression that this wine could in fact be a drinkable Diptyque candle, the elusive Jerome Saurigny returns with his 2021 rouge. Lifted, sanguine and a must for anyone with a taste for the rare and alluring. Production is tiny and our allocation this year was just a few bottles. Find out more.
